That was one of things I considered doing but I didn't know if it would wipe the programming as sometimes happens when you do a flash of the firmware. This is my first experience with PowerBox or even a PE but one of my friends has used them for quite some time and the other can do things with a Futaba 18MZ that I'm not sure Futaba knows how to do and it took those guys about six hours to get all the programming including the VT setup. If I cannot save the programming, so be it but if I can save it or I know it won't go away, I'd be more inclined to try it right now.

Does anyone here know if the programming will be wiped if I flash the firmware?

I've posted the question on PowerBox's website and they seem pretty good about answering questions.

Thanks for the suggestion.
