Default Spot 2 : OK interrupts tracking.

If you put it back in Track mode, does that cancel the remaining
attempts to send the OK message?

I usually notice 30 min delay until spot switches back to tracking.
You can alway press the track button again yourself to expedite.

Playing with my new Spot 2 on car journeys, I see that tracking works
OK until I send an OK message.
I've tried this twice, see:

The first time I waited 1 hour, today I waited 30 minutes, but no more
tracking messages arrived after I sent (and received) the OK message.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Thanks, Bernie.

Eric,
this afternoon on my homeward journey I put it in track mode, then did
an OK, then back in track. It resumed tracking and the OK message
sending light went out. Just now I tried a second OK and will now let
it sit and see how long (if ever) it takes to resume Track mode.
