RFM69HW 433 and Arduino Uno ACK issues

I have 2 arduino uno's with RFM69HW wired to each uno. I used the sample code from lowpowerlabs for gateway and node to test my setup. When calling sendWithRetry from node to gateway. My Gateway displays data sent, then re-runs setup() when i try to acknowledge the ACK and system lock up until power cycle. Any ideas?

Welcome to your first post. However, may be best to ask Felix about his library code examples.
