[NHRC-user] NHRC-10 puzzlement...

[Jeff Otterson]

Hi,
   You are very correct.  The tune mode does use a different courtesy tone. 
Courtesy tone 6 is used to indicate tune mode.  It is deliberately 
different than any of the remote base courtesy tones.  We wanted users to 
be aware that the controller was in tune mode.  You can program courtesy 
tone 6 any way you like.

   You could record you own voice track for "remote base" over "link" if 
you like.  We could certainly change the software to send "remote base" 
instead of "link", however, we chose "link" as the more generic term.

   Please keep the comments and suggestions coming.  We are very customer 
focused, and are very interested in our customers' suggestions.

   Regards,

   Jeff
