Thanks for the reply Scott. I think I have a version 1 unit, purchased in October, one of the last V1's. I do have a couple of questions..... 1. Did you see my post about TXLEVEL? Changing TXLEVEL doesn't seem tho change the deviation at all. I am currently getting out with TXLEVEL set at 0. My reliability doesn't seem too good, sometimes my transmission report shows up on the Nuvi and sometimes it doesn't. 2. Purchasing the unit in October I would have thought it had the latest firmware but it doesn't recognize the SNOOP command. I can't relate the response to my VERSION command to the firmware versions list on the Wiki. What should the response to a VERSION command be? 3. Any plans to fix the multiple messages problem? Thanks, Al
