 ->
 -> No. It's not that big a deal, at least to me, but I guess some people

 TS> Well, I like it when my g/f's with me.  She doesn't have to keep

 -> Yeah, it's not bad. If you want to disable the tone for a single

 TS> You know Gare, while reading your above sentence there, I thought that

 TS> My Radio Shack 2032 is capable of programming delay on a
 TS> channel-channel basis.  I love it when listening to trunked and
 TS> "normal" channels.  Oh well, I guess we can't have everything yet
 My pro 26 let you go channel by channel delay and even the choose 2 of 4 
 seconds. My pro 2042 allows channel by channel but no length option.
