[SCCC] RE: W6KK PACKETCLUSTER Node

[Alan C. Zack]

Thanks Bill,
You are 100 per cent correct on both counts.  I did miss one slash in
the address.
I also missed the word ON in the show command sequence.  Got too used
to using it the other way for the last 20 years or so I guess.
Thanks for pointing it out to me even if it was as clear as the tip of
my nose.
I am now able to access the users manual and will study it.
Thanks again and 73
