I should probably get you to define "cant seem to get messages onto the 350" but... Unless you have done modifications, the Nuvi must be powered from the cradle or at least the rear connector and the FMI cable connects on the right side of the Nuvi. If you can send commands to the T2, the GPS must be in FMI mode... e.g. --ver --mycall --path --int --smart --retries Try this one and see if it beacons: --bea See if anyone else can decode it. Then get someone near to you to send you a message. When I say near, that could be within earshot, or one or two digi hops away. They could even be somewhere else if a nearby IGate was configured properly to gate messages to local stations... as long as you had beaconed so the IGate would know that you were there. 73 es cul - Keith VE7GDH -- "I may be lost, but I know exactly where I am!"
