[SBE] Burk ARC-16 Question

[Bob Reite]

This is one of the reasons we opted to replace our ARC-16 with a Sine 
Systems unit.  The only work around I know of has been suggested by 
others.  Populate all of the call out memory.   You might want to 
consider putting more numbers in than just the engineer's cell phone. 
   Cell phones have a habit of not putting the call through and I've had 
mine delay the notification of a message up to three hours!
