Nope, not selected I just checked.

I've also never seen this color change that's been talked about.

I've run my TNC (and old v5 KAM) both native and as KISS and it seems to
act the same way regardless (however it decodes a LOT more packets if I
run it in KISS - natively it misses a LOT for some reason) - I tried
running it as a kernel ax.25 port but haven't been able to get that
working yet.

I'm going to try and hook up one of my other radios with AGWPE in the
next few days so I can listen to what I'm sending and see if the ACK's
are there and just not being picked up by the other stations or if
they're not getting sent at all.

Also - one clarification on the pop-ups that annoy me.  If for example I
do a ?APRSD? query or a path query to a local station and their reply
gets digi'd so I hear it twice then even if the previous window is still
open I get a second window with the same stuff.  It gets really bad if
the reply gets digi'd more than once or relayed as well and suddenly I
can have a dozen windows open from a query that gave a one line reply :(

The same queries in UI-VIEW don't duplicate in display even though I do
see them show up in the terminal - so somehow it's detecting that
they're duplicates I've already recieved and ignoring them.  It's the
one thing I do like about UI-VIEW ;)

Oh and all the stations I've been messaging that have said they're not
hearing my ACK's are running UI FWIW.

I'll try and find time this weekend to do some more experiments and get
some data..but I'm also hoping to upgrade to General this weekend and
haven't had a minute to study all week so time is kind of tight ;)
