Ahh, I get it. I thought "echo command" was going to be in reference to something that had to be run at the command line. You're saying to transmit a signal to the "E" command via RF, and then use a sneaky way to get a file by copying out the temp file it uses to do the echo, into the ID filename. Very good. I see. Maybe will mess with this when I have time... never seen anyone attempt "I" on our system, pretty much ... ever. But the question from Ray (knowing that he's not sighted), made me realize we all should probably have one in place so the system will always respond if the "I" is sent. Otherwise we can confuse folks, I suppose. We admins get to be confused -- even out here in public for all to see -- so others don't have to be, right?! (GRIN!) It's a hobby! Whatever... no one bleeding on the floor at the end of the day if the D-STAR doesn't work... not like it's a large trunked Public Safety system. :-) But I suppose it'd be nice to have "I" working locally. Maybe I can find some other poor schmuck who wants their voice forever immortalized on the system and have them send the transmission and just copy out the file! Or maybe a "contest" to see who GETS to be immortalized... yeah, yeah, that's the ticket! (GRIN!) Thanks guys, Nate WY0X
