That should not be happening.  The intended behavior with all ublox chips
is for it to go to the binary mode and stay there.  We know this works with
the 6s and 7s.  ublox or NaviLock may have done something odd with the M8
formware.

I think I shall need to live-test with the device, which is a problem since
Google is not turning up a U.S. vendor I can buy it from. Can you send me
one to test with?
