You state that Beacon Comment shorter is better.
Please allow an interval on the comment being sent. For example, if I enter an Interval of 9, then the comment would only be sent every 9th time.
Byonics calls it "Send Every".
So most beacons would not send the Comment String, thus be shorter, and once in a while, a longer one with the comment string.
