The "APPAUTOTIME" can be set to 0 (zero) to make it stay on full time. This determines how long the card will broadcast until it powers down (sleep). In the past, members experienced the problem of connecting to the card then later have it stop communicating. It was discovered that setting this parameter to 0 solved this problem.
I am tempted to split your posts and RayBees' post into their own individual threads. I'm starting to merge both your posts into one in my mind. That will allow your post history on this subject a little easier to follow. If this sounds acceptable, let me know.
