The power down button is certainly working for me... So I am curious why it doesn't work for you. There must be some specific conditions which cause it not to work. For example, were you running something in the terminal? Like Diagnostics? Power down should work when you are in main menu on the terminal and normal operating mode on the radio.?

Just took my QMX out for a POTA activation after updating the firmware and encountered two bugs. Originally I wasn't receiving anything but performing a factory reset instantly fixed this. (Mine is an early unit and I later performed that inductor mod mentioned in the forums so thats probably why that happened. Might be a good idea to mention this to anyone who performs this modification)
Bug 1: Power off doesn't seem to work. I press and hold the volume button and get the "power down" message but no matter how long I press nothing else happens.
Bug 2: Odd behavior with the text entry for the message menu. At a certain point the thing refuses to let me input spaces into my message. To get around this, I had to but a placeholder character for all the spaces then go through a second time and switch them to spaces (i.e. I had to enter "CQ1POTA1DE1KM4CFT" then hit enter then change all the 1s to spaces) Also, if the text extends past the screen width it doesn't seem to scroll back when you restart text entree. Made entering "BK RR TU TU ES 72 EE" a bit of a hassle.
Not sure if Hans is aware of these issues, but thought I would mention them.
