If the mentor manually allocates owned sectors then he should see the same lists as he had the ID allocated.

But you won't be able to set the owned sectors unless you have set a primary frq...

Does this mean that if the mentor tunes into the prim freq more than those 15-20 seconds after the student, he should be given a "mentor" ID since the student already is given the primary one? Or is this loop going constantly so that won't help either?

About random ID allocation: I always loop over the controllers to allocate ID for them in the order they first time appeared. But that is somehow really random. Every controller sends his position data in about every 15-20 seconds. When you log in it is really random where the other controllers are in their delay time.

Hi Gergely,

can this somehow be influenced by setting the PRIM in a specific order, e.g. "student sets it, then after 30 seconds mentor sets it"?
The advantages of mentoring with PRIM are immanent, would be great if we could find out a scheme how handoffs will work as usual for other stations.

Exactly as I would have said it

That is true. But when you select the sectors manually you can have any kind of frequency. You can create a dummy position for the mentor then you can allocate sectors for yourself.

There is no way to change the order how the IDs are allocated. As it does not depend on the sequence of the login and primary frequency allocation, but purely on when the others log in. If the student logs in, selects a primary frequency, then mentor logs in and selects the same frequency then it will be correct for all who already logged in. But will not necessarily work for the ones who will log in later.
