Side note..... when I was being transfered to the repair department I talked to a tech who actually worked for the Vertex repair side of the house (transfered there by mistake) He asked how I like the radio, my impressions and whether or not I had replaced the "poor excuse for an antenna" that came with it. I told him my likes and dislikes and he asked specifically about RT Systems software. I told him I had it and liked the software and that I had replaced my antenna with a comet ht-224. not sure what that is worth other than maybe the tech's really are interested in the radio's and how they are used...
Sounds about the same as when Windows Vista first came out and everybody was getting it, only to be largely disappointed ... .
Since I got mine back it has not "rebooted" a single time. I'll keep an update here over the next few weeks
