Re: [sarex] Packet system turned off?

["Greg D." <ko6th_greg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dave,

Yeah, I saw that too.  I figured it was just that my keps were off.
On the previous pass, I heard a few packets just after it had set, so
I adjusted my clock.  But the keps I used were about 12 days old.

Maybe they really did turn it off...
