Gary:

Well, maybe I'm just too late for the replacement program.

I have e-mailed Kenwood's Virginia Beach Service Center, so we'll see what 
they say, and I'll forward their response to the list for everyone's 
information.

If the displays can't be replaced, I'm then just going to stick with the 
ones I have, since for the cost of several new displays, I could buy a 
perfectly good new radio.
