[Ant-l] ANT version 12 issues

[Zoltán Miháczi]

Hi,

11: In smaller competitions, when there are few resources, I also used to
use two stations next to each other, but only one staff. It might be
useful. Although it can be solved by using two separate mobile phones.

12: We usually have enough Android devices.
