I too had my BBQ grill antenna setup out on Sunday night, 11:00 PM EDT MA37,
and I didn't hear anything either! I know my setup works because I used it
last Friday, and monitored AO-40 for nearly 30 minutes with no trouble.
What's going on? Is this another case of the S2 TX not latching on when
commanded?
