You don't want to use it on All-Stars. It'll read like all the nodes. All-Stars has tons of nodes. It'll read the people that's piggybacking on the nodes. It'll read the guests and it won't be quiet and you can't stop it. So it'll just go off like where the telemetry will just read everything that's there. I don't like that. I would much prefer like going on the Echo Link screen and you can get that same information. Except it doesn't do you no good. Most people prefer to be idle. In fact, 80% of the nodes you see on don't talk. So it's kind of useless to see who they are. Now in older days, like let's say the 2000s, that was a no-no. Now it's okay. You can just go and troll any place, anywhere you want. In fact, I still kind of feel strange when I do it, because I'm used to somebody yelling at you for it. Like, Kevin, you gonna speak or what? What are you trolling for? You don't speak in a few seconds, I'm gonna block you. That's what I used to be used to hearing. I'd hear it on Toronto nodes, and then I already told you about Orangeville. Orangeville blocked me for just exactly that. Cause I had a friend, Had, cause he doesn't really... Yeah, I mean, he's done other things, he doesn't really keep contact with me. We're not enemies or anything, he doesn't call me. Anyways, I used to go on to talk and to hear him. Brian Petrick, V-E or V-A-3-B-W-P, he lives in Orangeville. And I would go on there and I don't mind talking to people but I generally go on there and listen and look for him. So I'd go on there and just be idle. I'd leave my phone idle in there and I ended up being blocked. I think I'm unblocked now but they've changed owners not even the same repeater.
