Keith, I was not using it earlier but I turned it on last nite. I have it off again and back to the original 7-70 mph and 600-60 minutes. Had a heck of a time getting the config to get in there this morn, as I do at times, but I got it. I now have everything set back to above notation. I have a new gps from Scott. It locates the birds fast. I may just have to turn it on/off every hour or two until I hit the road Monday and then leave it on. I hate throwing out so many packets. Dan
