What I'm wondering, is could the timer circuit be eliminated? From previous
posts, I know a lot of people would like to have their towers ready to
recieve at any time, without it shutting down from lack of activity. People
have been adding to their code lines to transmit unneeded messages just to
keep the tower alive. If there were a trace or two we could cut on the
circuit board and still keep it functional, it would be an easy hack.
