A quick question for Bob Bruninga. I just read your article in the AMSAT JOURNAL regarding QIKCOM-2 and it's DTMF input. The example you use to determine the DTMF string to transmit your call & grid usesyour 6 charachter call. I didn't see anything (unless I missed it) about shot er calls. I presume the receiver on the satellite will be expecting 16 DTMF tones. How do I account for my 5 character call? I followed your example as best I could and came out with the following for K7TEJ & DM33: *173357832154# Did I get it right? If not, what did I miss? Thanks in advance. I'm looking fowarding to trying this bird out. 73DE Rick K7TEJ

You fill in with a SPACE and a SPACE is the first press of the 0 key. So it would have the key code of 1
I think... Bob
