Ok thanks Scott. I thought I had the message set for every 3rd one. I will go back in and change that to 5th. I also moved the low mileage to 7 mph last nite, up from 5. That might have been my problem. I will notice tomorrow, when we travel, what beacon rates I see. I have it set for every 60 seconds. I did not know about the time stamp, will get that off too. I really appreciate the information. I have no elmer to assist here. As you know, I have been playing with this stuff for a year, just trying to dig up stuff on my own. dan
