Steve,

I wouldn't have known either except that I drove myself nuts one day trying 
to reset the radio and thinking I was screwing it up because I couldn't get 
it to work.  I hit the A/B button and suddenly I could do the reset.  These 
kind of quirks are very frustrating because it would have been so easy to do 
it right, but nobody thought of it.  I guess we can't be too hard on Kenwood 
because it was their first attempt at anything as menu-oriented as the 2000. 
I'd love to see them revise the firmware to implement things like high and 
low beeps, but I doubt they ever will.

Steve
