This is in response to Erland and Toby10. Thanks for your posts. 

First I’d like to clarify that I’m not complaining. If I were to
complain, my posts would be a lot longer. My complaints have been
expressed through the appropriate channels – customer support. And my
experiences and assistance have been expressed in bug reports. I’ve had
an open back and forth email dialogue with tech support.

Once I received the new radio and set it up, it became apparent that
nothing had changed. My first stop was not to come to the forums. My
first action was to report back to tech support. My second action was
to post an update to one of the bug reports. My last action was to come
here and simply report back since someone had expressed curiosity about
what the hardware version number was. Sorry if some of my frustration
emerged.

With respect to the installed environment for this radio, I can tell
you that my too Booms work flawlessly. My two receivers and my
controller also work flawlessly. I know that doesn’t mean anything but
given that as a foundation, I’d expect the radio to work also. 

With respect to the radio turning off after start up, it is a problem
no matter what is playing when I’m connected to MSB. This includes
Sirius Radio, Pandora, any radio stream through RadioTime and anything
I listen to through the Podcast Player. With respect to it turning on
after I shut it off, I don’t think it matters what it was playing when
I last turned it off. With respect to the alarm, it is simply
unreliable no matter what it is set to play when it triggers.  I have a
strong impression that the device becomes far more stable when connected
to SBS rather than MSB. I know that I can avoid much of this by just
running SBS. 

I enjoy being a beta tester. I’ve beta tested software. I like looking
for issues and solutions. I’m not a programmer but I enjoy this stuff.
Unfortunately, I didn’t sign up to be a beta tester on this device. I
realized a long time ago, however, that I am beta testing. 

The only thing that threw me a bit here is I simply have the feeling
they asked me to send my radio in because they are at a loss. If they
still believe this is a hardware problem it means their current level
of communication with the community is not great. While I have not
tried it myself, it seems pretty clear based on what I've read that
many of my problems did not exist prior to 7.5. Doesn't sound like a
hardware problem, but I don't know enough to make a firm statement.

I’m hoping they solve this also.

If I hear anything productive from tech support, I'll post it here in
the hope that it helps someone.
