BCD996XT Reset

I know how to do a full hard reset but I wonder if there is a soft reset that will not destroy existing programming. My 996XT locked up hard in Bandscope mode and I could not exit from it. Obviously I tried SCAN (which has always worked before) as well as various MENU options....

It wouldn't turn off?

I am thinking if you unplug it, it has no choice but to start over when you plug it back in

Tried turning it off - no joy!

LOL...being new to scanning and new to the 996XT, every time in the last few days it started doing something funny, because I changed some thing without knowing it, I just download the file from freescan and started over. Works for me, one day I'll learn what I am doing and won't have to do that...maybe work for you too
