[Xastir] xastir resetting path in D700

[Bruce, KQ4TV]

While none of the replies pointed to a fix, they pointed to what was 
not broken and made me think a little more outside the box or rather 
that the problem was in another box. One of the features that the D700 
has is four programmable memory slots Lots of parameters can be set and 
stored in one of these slots. They can also be set as a set of static 
parameters that require a few extra keystrokes to make the changes to a 
slot permanent or dynamic and the changes are made as you make changes 
on the radio. A few months ago I decided to change from dynamic to 
static. This is what jumped up and bit me. Every time I turned the 
radio off and back on, it reverted all of the changes I had made in the 
mean time back to the static set I made months ago. Problem solved. Now 
it has the path set correctly.

Thanks to:
Curt, WE7U      Tom, KM5VY    Keith, WA0TJT
that responded and helped me figure out what was working right and 
where to look to fix what was wrong.
