Yes, that is correct.  Where it is pulling the default value from I am not 
certain, nor am I certain that everyones default values are the same, however, 
what is key is that it is returning some default other than last setting when 
the radio was turned off.

Thank you for taking a few minutes to confirm, perhaps there are others who 
will still confirm and advise so were sure.
