hi Dirty;

Sorry this took so long, I have been rather busy of late...

Yes our URET display which has a conflict probe on the assistant side also does all of our aircraft flight info and such. It allows us to change speeds and put in headings as well as make changes to the flight plan, and the speeds and headings will show up on the radar as will any altitude changes. They are all tied together. We can also do free style text to put in the fourth line of the data block that will pass from sector to sector as well as center to center. It will however not pass to approach controls. We have to do that the old fashion way <G>. As to paper strips, we have them available in the event that we go non radar, but we only are supposed to use them for non radar and for departures and arrivals at airports that we serve, however the truth be told, we don't use it for that either. We are pretty much stripless. I wish that I could attach pictures.

regards

Scott
