Ya the gps box goes into configuration and expected another carriage
return. Added \r before the second write and it works like a charm.  I
only found that by having to run the second write twice to discover it
was wanting a second command from me... It worked to send the command
twice but that's sloppy cuz it just needed a \r.

Thanks for everyones help
