    I take it you have checked to make sure you are using 10-4-420 firmware on Wattson....;)

    I did manage to upgrade the firmware, but the Wattson is no longer working correctly. It is cycling between all modes with text in between but I cannot lock it down to GRID. I will have to raise a Wattson ticket tomorrow.
    I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".
