I stopped by the EDSON (http://aprs.fi/EDSON) digipeater yesterday on my way home as it too had locked up on October 22, 2009. I should have tried sending a remote command to it before resetting it, but I found it sitting with the TX LED lit up. The connected radio was busy listening to the channel, but the OT2 was not playing nicely. Again, I should have spent more time observing and investigating before resetting, but I was 13 hours into my day, had just driven 3 hours to the site, and still had another 2.5 hour drive to get home yet. If it does lock up again, I'll have to try a remote reset. I have to remember that this isn't a dumb KPC-3!!! James VE6SRV
