- Hmmm...I think I may have found myself on that middle ground you mention...
-
- My Supra 14.4K seems to detect a busy signal whenever it feels like it.
- Sometimes it works when first powered on, sometimes it don't, always calling
- the same number. It'll go through stretches (in the same session) where
- it'll detect the busy signal for the first couple of dozen attempts or so,
- miss it for the next few, then detect it again...but some days, it won't
- detect it at all. And some days, it works perfectly....
