Thanks Adrian, I was able to solve this by disabling the 3rd Antenna position.
Why when I have saved a configuration and I go to EDIT CONFIGURATION does it show the default configuration and not what I have saved and is the current active configuration?? This is very confusing to me as it appears that I have not changed the configuration. Why does it not show the active configuration? Is it required to start from scratch(default) each edit?
