    Wayne, are you talking about the Mega Live Restore Defaults, Helix full Restore Factory Defaults, or another Restore Defaults? Just want to be sure fishnfireman is performing the correct restore.

    Setup menu Restore Defaults. The same thing done when doing software updates.

    This thing is possessed
    Set up with a bucket of water in the driveway. Fired everything up and WALA the live target works-- after not working for two days. When I needed it !!
    Except now the touch screen on the front unit isn't working (not the first time) it has a little gremlin that just likes jacking with this ole man.
