Ciamer,
There is an ever growing number of us stuck in this SB Radio firmware

Yes. Often it will actually turn off if I'm in the middle of tuning to
a favorite or changing the alarm set time.

Do you have an alarm timeout configured, or is the timeout=0. This can be
configured in SBS, not sure about MySB as I don't use that service.
I'm thinking that if the timeout isn't 0, that it might cause the audio to stop
thinking that an alarm had previously been started. If it is 0, it might

Indeed some things have changed from 7.5.0 to 7.5.1. E.g. the Radio
doesn't lose its default screensaver/background settings any more all
the time. Also with 7.5.0, in like 6 of 10 cases, the backup alarm came
up either at once or after a few seconds. Since 7.5.1, there are less
backup alarms and
