Garmin 660 Loss of Satelite reception voice prompts

TTS Number 70 and 71 for a Garmin Nuvi 660 deal with loss of Satellite reception, though I've never heard them ever spoken. I'm guessing these prompts are for a different Nuvi, and are not used in the 660......
Number 65 and 66 deal with loss of Power, and I've never heard them, either
Number 93 works, but Number 94 through 96 don't, and they are simelar....
What I'm trying to find is the Audio silence prompt (If such a thing exists) for the "Raise GPS Receiver" visual prompt that occurs when you turn on the 660 and do not raise the GPS antenna..
Has anyone found A list of what works, and what doesn't, by Nuvi Number, or a breakdown of Numbered commands that aren't clear, to actions on the GPS??
I'm Looking for that silence one, if it exists, and/or other voice prompts other than the normal "Recalulating", "Please Follow the Highlighted Route", and Destination reached prompts?
Thanks....
Not finding any
Not finding any references... I did the following:
In the American English Jack file for my 660, The following locations were found with No TTS in them:
73, 74, 75, 121, 122, 251, 252, 253.
I edited each: with Jan and number
For Example: Jan 73, Jan74, etc....
I'll save this in the 660, and if I stumble onto these prompts.... I'll know which they are.... based
on how they talk to me.....
File's in the 660 and it boots... Now I wait to see what if anything those numbers equate to....
Any comments?

I've changed 'recalculating' to a blank field entry instead of another phrase. It immediately gives new directions instead of wasting processor power to speak.
"Please follow the highlighted route" was changed to 'Follow the yellow brick road'.
Some of the phrases are tough to replace as you need to really think about the context of how they will be used, and the potential combination's. As well, remember to spell phonetically. for instance, I used 'Dawge' for 'Dodge' as I changed 'Please drive to the highlighted route' to 'Let's get the hell out of Dawge!'
All in all, it's just trial and error. I did set Jill to a '52' voice rate as she seems to sound more natural. At 55, she was mispronouncing things.
Have fun!

I can report that 121, 122,
I can report that 121, 122, and 74 are being used for pauses in between words. Others do something for within words... Nothing new resolved....

Nice to have a backup master file :)!
I can also report that the other numbers have something to do with inter-word phrasing, and going back to blank space does not return them to their original phrasing... I had a copy. so I wrote down the phrases I'd changed, deleted the incorrect one, and edited the new 'master' with the changes I wanted, alongning with volume changes, now that I know about it.... and saved it as a new master, and copied that back into the Garmin...
Back to where I was 4 hours ago, with a greater understanding of what can and cannot be done...

Basically -- Simple stuff only!!!
68 Recalculate "Are you lost AGAIN? Can't you follow instructions??"
79 Arriving at "Amazing!! You made it! Arriving at.."
93 Follow the highlighed route "Try to follow the route this time, Okay?"

I use a period for recalculate. It insures nothing is said and it's easy to find if you want to change it to something else.
As to "the highlighted route" we're almost the same. Mine says "magenta brick road."
