Fair enough, Steve.
I hope there's nothing wrong with the radio.
My thinking is that it's something in the menu settings, but I don't want to
do anything and worsen the situation until I have an informed idea of what
to try.
I'm going into the office to do some work this morning, but will be back
this afternoon.
Thanks, Steve.
