David:
Your thought about holding the memory button in too long may be what
happened yesterday.
I'll have to play around with it more when I get the chance again.
It's not a major problem. ... Just a little anoyance that is probably being
caused by something I'm doing.
Will try to do some SSB contest exchange recording for the NAQP SSB contest
this coming week-end.
Will certainly keep you posted.
