Thanks Evans. I am not an Admin. If I can find anything tall enough maybe I will become one, but people more expert than me haven't had good luck in my area.
I only have one terminal defined, and it is an "A", not a blank. Your info about "S" is interesting, but I just tried to add an "M" and then "B" in case you were literal about sequential assignment. But I always got the same "already registered" message. It doesn't really matter I suppose as I probably won't have multiple radios active at the same time any time soon. I just would like to have the option. As for the Zone stuff, yeah, right after I posted this I remembered the 10GHz zone thing and had a big Ah Ha moment. So, that actually answers most all of my questions. Thank you very much! When I'm feeling a little braver I will delete my "A" terminal as I just have this gut feeling that is what it really wants. BTW, someone should really tell ICOM to fix the spelling in their JSP, "initaial" isn't really a word. (Hate it when that happens!) :) :) --- In [email protected], "Evans F.
