Thanks. Yeah, I've been through the transponder overload thing before, when I had something like over 1500 transponders, ie over the 1300 maximum. But this time I'm not over the limit. Also, this isn't doing the same thing as before, ie, before all my settings were just randomly changing, while this time, nothing was changing, it just refused to save any new channels.
However new information.... After I deleted about 4 channels, and re-saved, everything seems to be OK again, which is strange. Ie after deleting 4 channels, I have since done a couple blind scans, and added another 20 or so channels.
I'm sure this is probably a memory thing...... perhaps this thing has a battery that's going bad.... and I'm sure that I'd be better off if I'd delete all my transponders and channels and start over from scratch, and in fact I've started the process already, by saving everything with Gtools, and starting a wholesale deletion process.
But my main question was whether I had hit some undocumented limit, but apparently that wasn't the case. I'm starting to think that it might be advisable to just occasionally do a sort operation on this receiver. Ie it might tend to defrag the memory.
Thanks.
