Scott, With the new Nuvi firmware, RETRIES appears to limit the transmissions where it wasn't with the old firmware. However, when a message is never acked and retries out, it stays in the Nuvi outbox and subsequent messages are not transmitted to the OT2. I think OT2 is not, but needs to, send something to the Nuvi when a message retries out. I verified this by sending a message to a station that was not on the air. It retried out. I then tried a VER command and got no response until I went in and manually deleted the previous message from the outbox.
