Indeed, if I place a handheld in rig control mode I could detect the busy indicator. However, while in this mode I don't get the data stream so it's not really a viable solution to the multi-access problem, IMHO (not to mention it would only work on a few radios). > Haven't seen anyone describe what the new 80 and 880 do or don't do, > but haven't seen any rig control documentation on those rigs, > either. They are clone-mode radios, which means when you attempt to read the memory out, the radio stops being a radio, dumps its entire memory over the serial port and reboots. -- Dan Smith dsmith#danplanet.com, s/#/@/ www.danplanet.com KK7DS
