Sync 3 radio changes by itself

I know this has been discussed before, but I can't seem to find a clear cut fix. If I leave my (new to me) 2017 F250 6.7 shut down overnight, the radio (usually on Sirius) comes on with the same station that I had when I shut it off. If, however, I turn the truck off and then restart it within about 10 minutes (like getting fuel) the radio always defaults to AM. I have the latest updates on Sync 3 and that doesn't seem to make any difference. Anyone got a fix?

I am stoked to see this was resolved. I have been dealing with it since the truck was new. Hopefully Ford will cover the reflash even though my 3/36 warranty is expired.
