yep. can't say how often, but occasionally.  i haven't been able to
establish any pattern.  power cycling restores the sweep.

i don't think so, but i'd be all for it.

btw, i had one of those mentioned contest burps this morning - the
subreceiver quit.  all indications were it was online, and no matter of
button pushing restored it until i cycled the power.
