problem with Ion...please help.

Ion powers up in the same state it was in when it was last powered down.Here are some things to investigate:

• Is channel 124 parked? There would be a small 'P' on the tombstone to indicate this.
• Is your board op powering down the board with channel 124 left on?

If what sk8rs_dad listed checks out, you might check the patch.  Did a non-dim curve get selected for that channel?  Does the channel turn off when you clear it's patch?  What color is the level for channel 124?  That should tell you what is setting it's level.

If all else fails, I can come by and look at it; I'm a local.  We got an Ion at First Baptist a couple of months ago.
