I think Dave has determined the major cause of this which is
inadvertent changing to radio 2 by pressing a period - it's not
Alt-period any more. This happened numerous times this past weekend
and each time, the screen showed radio 2.
I think the program should not permit changing to radio 2 if you don't
have a radio 2 configured.
Also, optionally requiring the Alt key combination would help too.
