    Hi all

    I'll get this message in while the list seems to be working...

    I am trying to improve the performance of my ax25 system and one of
    the few debugging tools is "listen". Unfortunately "man listen" only
    provides a bare outline of the command line options and I can't find a
    detailed description of how to interpret the output. For example, the
    following output from "listen -ar" contains a "^" after the "UI". What
    does that indicate?
    uhf: fm VK6DLX-9 to APRS via VK6BBS-10 ctl UI^ pid=F0(Text) len 88

    In this line, what does the "+" at the end of the line indicate?
    axip: fm WA7V-2 to VK6DLX-7 ctl RR0+

    In this line I guess the I17 means it is an information fram with
    sequence ID of 17. What does the "+" after the 17 indicate?
    uhf: fm VK6BBS to VK6AD ctl I17+ pid=F0(Text) len 5

    According to the ax25 specification, modulo 8 sequence numbers should
    be 0 to 7. Since I am seeing a sequence number of 74 here I assume
    this link has negotiated modulo 128 operation.
    uhf: fm VK6BBS to VK6AD ctl I74+ pid=F0(Text) len 250

    A moment later however, on a fresh connection, I saw the sequence
    number count up to 63 and cycle back to 0.

    Here are some reject commands:
    uhf: fm VK6AD to VK6BBS ctl REJ2-
    uhf: fm VK6AD to VK6BBS ctl REJ0-
    They don't seem to specify what frames have been rejected. The first
    reject was sent after sequence number 24 arrived from VK6BBS. And what
    does the "-" indicate?

    In summary, does anyone know if there is a comprehensive write-up of
    the "listen" command?

    Thanks for reading this, and best 73
