maybe he's holding it upside down?  Maybe the radio came from Australia 
where everything is upside down or backwards hi hi.

I think he said it was reading words right to left.  Maybe it's written in
Hebrew.  Jim WA6EKS

Mike, you did say you bought it used didn't you?
If so, then the display issues are likely the reason it was being sold
cheap.

I did a full reset and the beaps came back.  When the radio powers up
sometimes the screen is backwards, letters from right to left, and also
backwards, like the letter e would point to the left instead the right,
and sometimes it would come up right, and then sometimes not at all.
I  am not sure why it would do that.
