   MAy well have to do the same but looking yesterday at the last archive used   
   late afternoon it does appear that mbse may well be using the last one for new   
   packets.  I will keep an eye on it over the next few days but today it looks   
   like the downlink has reduced his polling count over a 24 hour period to once   
   per hour but must remember to check it after 23:00 to verify.
