A full reset on a used radio is probably not a bad idea. Kind of cleans
things up and lets you start from scratch.
First thing I thought of is what Colin suggests below: The NR functions
can make things sound a bit goofy. You may want to tinker with the 3
buttons next to the headphone jack.
I would do a reset anyway. You can always get the free MCP-2000
software from Kenwood and backup everything first if you want.
