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
