[App_rpt-users] Quick question on usability

I don't want to be a bad operator at the moment. As I go about checking bandwidth and jitter, etc on my setup. I'd like to connect to an active Hub, but just in eavesdrop mode. But I've noticed that if I connect with the *2 command, that if I inadvertently then do a *80, that the ID goes out on the link that was connected with the *2. Is this true anytime my node decides to ID? Alan
