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.

Subject: Update on trouble with radio:

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.
