Art,
That's interesting, 15 times, Wow! Maybe I should hire somebody as a radio
resetter!
Ok if this has been seen before and cleared after multiple multiple resets I
guess I'll have to keep trying.

Keep trying Martin. I had the same troubles and had to repeat the procedure
at least 15 times before it finally "took". Don't worry, you're not gonna
break it. But believe me , it's worth the time and effort. Mine is like a
new radio!
