As far as the log checking software is concerned is
1000=KW=K=AK=1TTT=ATTT=2K? Or does one get dinged for
translating AK to 1K or NNN to 999?

It's probably pretty simple to program all of those
options. Would it slow the process down?

Inquiring minds want to know... ;o)

This may be a newbie question worth defining (again).

73,
