Intelligence is irrelevant!" The new function is pL not rP. You turn pL up to 100 to enter all 6 digits instead of just the last 4. I believe a pL setting of 1 is the default, allowing 4-digit entry. I would also assume that a pL setting of 10 allows entry of 5 digits. This is not described very well in the mod. The rP "on" setting puts the radio into the automatic power save mode where the radio gauges how much output power to use based on the input signal power. Also note that my newer W21AT does not receive 900 MHz, but my friend's older revision does. Hope this helps. -- -Tom Mayo N1RMU tcmayo@mntr02.psf.ge.com
