This may have been the pass that I was trying to use too, I had an 85 degree 
pass with full scale on my handheld, but no luck from my end. What I did see 
was 8-10 packets from 4/5 stations being didi'd multiple times with DP on my 
D7...

I really don't think stations here are playing fair to the user agreement, 
as even after the low usage packet was transmitted by PCSAT, the amount of 
traffic didn't drop at all..

All I want would be one packet digi'd via my handheld before she goes to 
sleep..

Thanks,
