thanks for the generous offer.

i have temporarily programmed around the issue by executing another power on in the preset as well as the input selection.

regarding the log, am i mistaken in my recollection that the log displayed the delay as a separate line and in the Value column you would see 5d for a 5 second delay?

If so, where has mine gone (rhetorical)

i have trace on for the panel, the rcvr, the pmc2+, the presets, and the tuner (tivo), is there something else i need to see those delays (unless my recollection is just plain false).
