First, if you need a fill, you've got to be *quick* on the trigger
about asking. Any pause is going to be interpreted as an "R" or dit
that wasn't heard.
Instead of sending NR? NR? NR?, get the guy's attention by sending a
string of dits: ...............NR Shouldn't need the question
mark.
But I'll bet the problem is more the pause before asking for the
fill...at least that's often the case with me.
