*sigh* So I figured out a solution..
For some reason I couldn't set channel 1 to "none".. So I tried setting it
to type 7 (soil) and that did work. So while channel 1 was set to soil, I
set channel 3 to iss, and then set channel 1 to "none" and that worked!
So I'm unsure if this is normal or a weird quirk?
Thanks for the help!
