Ian, That sounds like either the menu system has gotten messed up or you have one or more soldering problems.
I suspect that you may have attempted to change some menu items and do other actions when it did not work without the regulator installed. Since this is a new build, I suggest you do a Master Reset which will put all the menu items back at the default setting. Hold the 4, 5 and 6 buttons in while turning power on. then wait for the reset to complete. If that does not change anything, please let us know what you have accomplished and what you now observe. 73, Don W3FPR Ian Liston-Smith wrote: > Hi there.
