I've noticed on my 6600M that it now, goes directly into the main display without pausing at the version chooser like it did the first few times I powered it up. My guess, is that the Persistence Database gets updated with what you continue to use, (selected version) that it skips that part and goes straight into the main screen. I realized this earlier today as I and others, have thought the external display issue might be firmware related. So, I was going to go back to the previous version of the radio's firmware and see if the problem I encountered with the external display existed in the previous version of the software. But, now I cannot get to that screen. It goes straight to the latest version with no pause to select anything else.
