Pat, I have no sympathy, go dig out your old light probe and scan 
the sky! Well, maybe it's just easier to go out and howl.  Noone 
else will know whether or not you are howling at the moon or 
because you stubbed your toe bumbling around out there looking 
for your light probe.  73, Jim WA6EKS

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.
