The "auto adjust backlight" does just that, if you are in a brightly lighted room it turns the brightness up, so the other side of that, if you're in a darker area it turns down the screens brightness. Dave N8PU

Thanks for the info. I will have a closer look at the screen backlight. I definitely couldn't see it getting dimmer. There is also an "auto adjust backlight" setting but I don't know what that does. The idea of saving power by turning it on and off with the top button is a good one, especially if/while there is no power saving mode in the software itself. What would be handy in that case would be an audible sound when a position report is sent, so you can tell without seeing the screen when it's OK to turn it off again. When I said the app had closed it really had closed - I used the task switcher to try to activate it and it had just vanished. I don't know if anything might have pressed the X button. The slip-in cases are a pretty tight fit. By the way Lynn why is it that I don't see the battery status indicator on the APRSISCE title bar (which incidentally says APRSIS for Win32 for some strange reason)? I have to switch to the Home screen for a quick check on the battery status. Julian, G4ILO No virus found in this outgoing message.
