Here’s those new commands again from UK-IT
YOUR: GB7YD▪IX = Return link status information.
YOUR: GB7YD▪KX = Unlink (kill) all links.
YOUR: GB7YD▪LX = Go directly to the last heard Reflector.
YOUR: GB7YD▪RX = Random link to 1 of 10 most active reflectors.
YOUR: GB7YD▪UX = Display server uptime and average CPU load.
Great way to pass your few idle coffee minutes 
Oh and here’s a few new commands….many many many thanks to UK-IT and in particular Mr G7LWT – monster munch T-shirt on its way
Oh and here’s those new commands….thanks to UK-IT
YOUR: GB7YD▪HX
RPT1: GB7YD▪▪C
RPT2: GB7YD▪▪G
MY: G1ANI
YOUR: GB7YD▪IX = Return link status information.
YOUR: GB7YD▪KX = Unlink (kill) all links.
YOUR: GB7YD▪LX = Go directly to the last heard Reflector.
YOUR: GB7YD▪RX = Random link to 1 of 10 most active reflectors.
YOUR: GB7YD▪UX = Display server uptime and average CPU load.
All commands should work on both Ports B/C, however….the LMSG/status report broadcast every 15 mins only shows the status of Port C [I will stand correction and bow down gracefully....E & O excepted, T & C on request ]
don’t forget RPT2: GB7YD▪▪G if you don’t use this setting you are only working locally, which is great…but if the Repeater/Node is linked and YOU didn’t use the YOUR: GB7YD▪IX command to check the repeater/node status…ANYTHING could happen 
| YOUR:: | CQCQCQ |
| RPT1: | GB7YD▪▪C |
| RPT2: | GB7YD▪▪G |
No check on where or what the repeater/node you are connected to = YOU and more disturbingly other users not knowing what they are hearing or what is happening…simples….
ALWAYS announce who you are and which node you are calling through.
When you get a response then that should be enough, announcing who/where/what and common sense should be prevail!
The ABC Television series, “Last Man Standing” is about Mike Baxter (played by Tim Allen), a marketing executive for “Outdoor Man,” a fictitious sporting goods store in Colorado.

Likewise, Mike (and Tim) has a love for all the electronics that go with these activities. Among Mike’s interests is Amateur Radio (Ham Radio). Tim's character (Mike Baxter), is KA0XTT. This is a call sign the show cleared for use on air. "XTT" is a bit of a private joke as Tim's character name on "Home Improvement" was Tim Taylor. So, ex T. T. In the show’s radio inventory is currently an ICOM IC-9100 HF radio, an IC-92AD dual band, hand-held, a Heil PR-781microphone, a Daiwa CN-801HP SWR/Power meter a Comet CAA-500 antenna analyzer and a Iambic CW Paddle.
