I have had problems with users that link large groups such as 2135 to my node(s). Once is a mistake, but if this continues to happen, it can cause real problems. Not all stations have full-duty cycle transmitters, for instance. In most cases, the offender has been connected via Web Transceiver, dials a slew of DTMF commands, and then disappears. The last time it happened, I think something like 68 nodes were connected to my hub node, and our groups 10-12 transmitters. Some of the responsibility falls on the node owners to know who is controlling their node, and what is happening as a result. I myself use text messaging/email and additional logging to keep track of node activity. I'd be all ears on the "right" way of dealing with it though. 73 Kyle Yoksh K0KN Olathe, KS Allstar 2210-2219 --- Original Message ---

Since some of you are attempting to do some kind of 'stuff' to deal with "traffic issues", I would be very interested in hearing from you what exactly these "issues" are and what exactly you mean/need regarding this.

Certainly, there must be a "right" way of dealing with whatever it is.

Thanks
