Hi Again!
I think I got it figured out.....you know,when in doubt, consult the manual....

....
I had initialized the board before I started putting in my own settings, to erase anything that had been entered at the store....
Tonight I just happened to notice, at the bottom of the Initialization page, a tiny little blurb explaining how to reset the performance items.....it seemed to have done the trick, I can now power off & on & still keep my settings....
Amazing what you can learn from these manuals....
