Greetings Janis!

 JK> There are no 'special characters' in the backboned echotag AFTERSHOCK

Ummmm. He said that one of his echoes has those special characters in its
listing and that AFTERSHOCK won't allow him to list that echo in its
configuration. (either version of Android or Blackberry)

 JK> Could there be an extraneous character in your setup maybe?

Echo: Wildcat!_Support
             ^^
The exclamation character (!) is one of those special characters that
AFTERSHOCK won't recognize. I recall having that problem when setting up
FN_SYSOP on AFTERSHOCK on Lisa's Android tablet.

The cure was to areafix her to the echo and by sending some packets to
her, which encouraged AFTERSHOCK to list the echo in spite of the special
chacter problem.

    Have a day!
