According to the in-program help file: --- This mode disables the sending of ack messages in response to received messages. Messages are still acknowledged using the reply-ack system. When operating over a satellite it is clear that your message made it, because you will hear it repeated. The receiving station sending an independent ack only adds QRM. --- The "reply-ack" system is a way of tacking "acks" on to replies in a way that doesn't generate extra packets, whereas the standard ack message system creates a new packet every time a message is received. Using the standard ack system in satellite operations causes unnecessary and unhelpful extra traffic on the channel. Hope that helps. -- Tom Russo KM5VY Tijeras, NM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
