The logic in the program is:

if (iPeriod == 30) { 
                 if (Minute == (i + 25) | Minute == (i + 45)) {

                }
}

to regulate the time windows where beacons are sent,
otherwise arq connections would be disturbed all the time...

Of course we can make this more flexible, but that would require 
a much better and much more restrictive DCD routine.

======================================


Client is 0.8.9
 Beacon QRG nr is 1 (should read "Beacon minute" as in the manual)
 Second is 40 (on Configuration page. Item is missing on page 19 of       
the manual. Only a hint, not a complaint ;-)

 I observe a beacon period of 20 and 40 minutes, like in the       
example below.

 Why is it so?
