Hope so, though, to tell the truth, I'd not be lost if I had to turn it off (as it is, it's just connected to a simplex node that links via RF into the Penn Wireless system rather than my "allstar-connected" network of 2/220/440/900 machines). The fewer drive-bys, the better. Besides, with all the systems connected to the NJ/PA network (not the size of the WAN system...), it cuts down on the noise/kerchunking/blind "CQ" calling...) I'm thinking it's in there for the CYA aspect more than Jonathan using it as a club over repeater owners' heads. Not discounting that they might...just that they've had no reason to. But, one would think that with the experience of folks using or with exerience in the 2 technologies, they'd come to some meeting of the minds in the spirit of cooperation, fellowship, improvements, and sharing ideas. Unlike other linking system developers who will remain north of the border...oops, did I say that? -- Bryan In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart.
