One of the main reasons I have the 950 is my previous Processor losing the settings in black outs, brown outs and just everytime the Power company around here er, passed gas. The 950 is about a month old and we have had some rough weather during that time. If I see it coming I cut it and equipment off, but I have had a number that have gotten by me and I have not had a single failure. Just the other night I did not even here the storm blow up but bang it got me twice before I could cut everything off. The 950 once again passed with flying colors, retaining all settings. I may not like everything about my new processor, but this is one of my prime concerns that has been answered. If you are having problems I would contact Outlaw and ask.
