yep, reminds me of when I was doing some testing on packet on a remote 
site and I forget what I set, but it kept transmitting forever and I 
couldn't break in.  Had to wait until the next morning and get a 40 ride 
to the site.
I also was doing some playing once on cross band and was mobile and 
couldn't get the weather channel in the car, I remoted the radio to the 
weather channel and lost control until I got back home as it never went 
back to receive.
hmmmm.
