***TRYING OUT THE FLEX 6400 THIS WEEK SO SOME ISSUES ARE TO BE EXPECTED***
***IF YOU CANT CONNECT P2P, FALL BACK TO RMS GATEWAY***

***PLEASE NOTE FREQUENCY CHANGE FOR P2P. THIS BRINGS US INTO COMPLIANCE WITH FCC 47 CFR 97.221, WHILE PRESERVING OUR ABILITY TO KEEP THE BANDWIDTH AT 2300***
The above statement is based on my understanding of the rule and the FAQs from winlink.org found here in question 580 https://winlink.org/sites/default/files/download/wl2k_faq_9.pdf
