The main problem I see (not particular on you), one can't hear what is going on on the remote site. So all we can do is sit and wait. There is only the RPT?, which mostly shows a busy remote site, but you have to watch your display all the time, and this is a hard try on my ic-91 with backlight off, to save battery power. ;-) 73 de Reiner, dh9fax
