Rick and Win,<br><br>why wouldn't you prefer a hardware solution to do this kind of lock-out (or protection)? Software's reliability can be pretty high, agreed, but a specific designed hw (not necessarily a complicated thing) will easily exceed the timeliness needed, than what one may expect from a logger.<br>

<div> </div>
<div>First off my station is M-M....we use the second station on each band as a mult station...it is designated as "run support"...it would be nice to have some sort of software lockout that would be able to lockout the run station when the run support station needed to transmit....and it would be nice to be able to configure it the other way...i.e. to lock out the mult station...selectable with drop down windows....is this possible??? </div>
