Uh huh. That darn thing will get stupid on occasion although yours sounds
like its happening far more than normal. The one (first) glitch I heard on
one was that it seemed fine on the Rx but was sounding like it was off freq
by 2+KHz on a repeater. The user also noticed the power out was dropping.
The "mash a button while powering on" master reset put everything back to
normal. Of course any memories you had are now past tense!!! Too bad this
rig was pre- download a new micro-code era.
