Eric and all:

While I've read the other comments and etc., I'd like to see the NR
function remain in memory as other modes.  I use the NR function most of
if not all of the time on SSB.  When the radio is turned off and then
turned back on, all other modes and functions remain as I left
them........ except for the NR function.
