We monitored its operation via a smart phone looking at aprs.fi and only saw a brief time thru the cumberland gap area of S KY/N TN where we did not get coverage. Was using the system out of a small portable soft bag running a Kenwood TM241A on mid power setting. Antenna was a homebrew 5/8 wave on top of a sedan. The messaging from the Nuvi seemed to work and we are considering the system ready for the 15000mile summer tour. I did see the Nuvi lock up once but it came right back with a restart. Its still running ver 6.0 Path was left at OT2 Default of Wide1-1, WIDE2-2 Thanks to all that answered my newbie questions. Curt KU8L
