Yes , Swath had been changed a version or two ago , so that the lite bulb does not have to be on for the keep alive to work.
Plus the new keep alive format sends a #145 or @27 so its invisible.

So if you run both Swath and mom bot , you get redundancy
but that is not a bad thing in this case.

Happy hunting!

Thanks for the kind words and the helpful information about SWATH Vid Kid. I still feel like a big idiot but at least now I know that part of the reason for it is that during my break from the game for a few years, the people over at SWATH slipped in an improvement to their helper.

That's what I like about the community, JP working to improve the game, people working to improve the helpers and scripts, and all the other players that are willing to help new players and returnee's.

Don't worry about the false alarm. I'll take that over people just not reporting bugs. Thanks for taking the time to get it figured out.
