Paul, the good news is the Tascam users board is back!

The bad news is you aren't the only one having such problems.

Users speculate it may be a firmware problem, but maybe something less
drastic as not everyone is having trouble. You might like to try the
following so you can eliminate possibilities over which you might have some
control.

* Get a vibration dampening mat to help isolate your 2488 from
environmental vibrations.

* Get a power line conditioner / UPS for your 2488 to filter out any
power line issues. "

Good luck.
