Steve:

We're already using the decimal point.  My XYL toled me that it
automatically puts it in, but I still get the same thing even when I
manually enter the decimal point myself.

It's just really strange.

I'm usually not so stumped by this kind of thing either.

It's a bit humbling to be out-smarted by a radio!  HI!  HI!
