Ok Keith, yes I changed my retries to 5 at 40 sec and tx is good. The ack question came up because a local station near the SOKC digi, N0ELS was calling me and observed he did not get an Ack from my mobile. But of course if I answered him he knew I received him. He is trying to help me get set up. Tnx Keith 73 Ron WR5RR
