The log has the match timer in it so you can tell exactly when FMS recieved the Team Station message.

I'll bring this up at the post week one meetings tomorrow....
Thanks for getting back on this. Seems like what needs to happen is to report in with packets every 100ms and if there is comm loss then set a comm loss flag of some type or null the data. Then it would be clear on the FMS log.

Good luck with your conference call.

Thanks,
Ed
