Hi Scrmbl, nice to hear from you. I keep forgetting you're a beetle now! Nah, these days it's more likely a C.205 though I did take a Pitts up for an hour at Stewart a couple of years ago. Told the guy in the back I hadn't flown one for 24 years and he gave me complete control from getting in to getting out! Turned out he thought I'd said I'd been flying 'em FOR 24 years!
Skuzzy, I was actually asking why I couldn't turn it off not where it was coming from. Despite my great age I got the picture within 30 seconds and, far from feeling excited, I became increasingly irritated by the profusion of blue filling the buffer. Just that I should like a choice whether to 'listen' or not. I'm still none the wiser why that choice is denied 'cos I could always turn it on again if I got the urge to ask a question.
