Hi Steve,
It certainly looks like it could be related. When I cycle the power on my
rig, it sets the BW to 100 Hz for SSB, to 2400 Hz for FSK, and to 1000 Hz
for CW. Those are the same values which BW gets set to when I recall a USER
memory.

Last night I observed a problem somewhat similar to what Rick is describing.
I noticed that what ever setting the variable BW is reading prior to
shutting the radio off is not the same BW setting that is restored if you
turn the radio off and then turn it back on. For example if I was in SSB
mode, with BW set to 3000 and then turn the radio off and then back on;
after boot-up the BW setting may come up as 2480 or some other number but
not 3000 where it was at prior to shut down. Same occurs in CW mode, and
can be replicated.
Maybe related to same problem below. Can anyone else validate the power
on/off sequence and confirm if their BW setting was restored to same value
as it was before turning the power off?
Thanks
