With regard to 1 and 2, to the best of my recollection the time value in 
the log window was cleared and had to be reentered. In that case I think 
the Time2 value was reset. Sorry I didn't keep detailed notes but this 
was enough of a issue to cause me to remember it. This would seem to 
allow a condition where the time could be off by a minute from that 
originally sent.

Thanks again to Rick, Tom and crew for their efforts.
