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.
