Dave, I've had the same thing happen with a couple of systems... Do you have the FNDC installed?
Outback wont admit it but I think that there is a software conflict between the FNDC and the radian firmware. The only way I could get it to stay in sell mode was to remove the FNDC. *Steve Higgins* *⋅* *Technical Services Manager* *t* +1.902.597.4020 *m* +1.206.790.5840 *f* +1.902.597.8447 *e* [email protected] ------------------------------ CONFIDENTIALITY: The information transmitted herein is intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential, proprietary and/or privileged material.
