Wow didnt realize my last post didn't send right. My phone had a brain squeeze while I was posting and didn't get to see it. To start where I left off in the last post, I know the buttons are programmable. As I said, I have p2 short press programmed for mem/vfo and pf3 (the orange button) is for digital monitor. When I hit p2 for vfo, it turns on digital monitor, and takes several presses to get vfo. I also know about the time zones. Nothing works.
Here's a question. More of a thought.
Could I hit the 6x2 with the latest firmware for the 878 and see if my problems go away? I know I'll lose some of the features that are 6x2 specific, but I don't think it would be that big of a deal to me. Of course if I can change to 878 firmware, I should be able to go back to the btech firmware whe the bugs are gone. I initially had the proem of constant lock ups that would mean having to reprogram with software everytime. That stopped for a while, but it's seems to be slowing creeping its way back. Locked up twice today, but battery removal fixed it both times.
