There was no transmitting disabled. I tx my position fine on RF. I am 
not sure I understand the "PATH" field in the msg window. This is for 
the unproto path of the packet(s) that hold the message, right? So 
something like WIDE2-2 seems reasonable.

I really want to isolate the cause of my problem, since it seems to be 
mine only. I don't have time this morning, but sometime I will isolate it.

Thanks anyway.
