Radio tricks

Set up loggernet to download on a schedule, every minute and then monitor the low level io. Sometimes though loggernet doesn't recognize that the remote logger is awake. The connect message will arrive but then loggernet will fail to quickly. If that happens you can try connecting with devconfig first. Once you get the connect followed by a bunch of asterisks from the logger (I hit enter repeatedly after ATDT1) then disconnect from the serial port and try connecting from loggernet. For some reason, time out related, this seems to help. Another trick was that I began to suspect my antenna wasn't that good. So, I reprogrammed the call book of my test radio to use the met tower as a repeater. Doing that I hit the other three sites without issue.
