I tried it a few times.  When power is turned back on, it resets to  
default values of 100 on CW and 3000 on SSB.  Definitely a bug.

Last  night I observed a problem somewhat similar to what Rick is  
describing.

I noticed that what ever setting the variable BW is reading  prior to 
shutting the radio off is not the same BW setting that is restored if  you turn 
the radio off and then turn it back on.  For example if I was in  SSB mode, 
with BW set to 3000 and then turn the radio off and then back on;  after 
boot-up the BW setting may come up as 2480 or some other number but not  3000 
where it was at prior to shut down.  Same occurs in CW mode, and can  be 
replicated.

Maybe related to same problem below.  Can anyone  else validate the power 
on/off sequence and confirm if their BW setting was  restored to same value 
as it was before turning the power off?   

Thanks
