dir="auto">Thanks for all the info guys just seemed strange that we have a
capability and rarely use it with modern equipment. I do see all the
negatives on why it is not used. Range being the problem for me as I would
rather be heard on the digi range end than have a faster packet. And no I
am not going to tell them to change I am just wondering why it is seldom
used when the capability is there since about 2010. </div><div
