Re: Howto get full SRC info

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Antonio,

 You are correct. When the server stops yellow light on an SRC it 
displays word 11 by default. You may then up arrow to word 12 and press 
enter (blue) to display it. Same with 13 etc. Some words may be all 0's. 
Additinally some SRCs populate more words than others so just keep 
pressing up and enter until no more words are available.
