Mario,
I did not load 1730 because of the problems other saw, but if you would like I'll try 1730 first to see how it does then I'll load 1741 and see if there is a change.

  I did the update wile at the lake this weekend.....went with out a hitch.  But now the display seems a little glitchy (don't know if this is related or not) but seems to flickereverynow and then.

  Also, I'm still getting the overload warning on the load status (nothing is hooked to this)

Just did the 1741 update - will see tomorrow how it is working when the sun is up. I did notice that after I set up Whizbang Jr settings , I reset power and it went back to default . I just put them in again and hit the Save button . But I don't want to reset the power again to see if that holds them . I don't have a switch yet and have to pull a glass fuse near the battery - first time I did it might not have left it off long enough because when unit powered on again there were just a bunch of squares on the display . Guess it needs to be off more than a second to truly reset. I was happy to see life on it again .

Chris, The overload on the load is a bug I just fixed thank you for your input.
when the load was OFF it would even display the msg!
This will be fixed in the next firmware rev.

Thanks,
Mario
