[TenTec] RAM CLEAR - no help, My first Orion II bug

Ram-Clear (or master reset) didn't solve the problem.  I still have S-meter
freeze and a dead scan after a few hours of receiving. Yes, power off-on
clears the condition.  I did another ram-clear, no help.  

Note, this time I NOTICED something that may be useful to TT:
The main AF control moves the LCD display bar, but the volume doesn't change
in my earphones.  The volume does change for the speaker (if I unplug the
phones).  The sub AF does work the earphones and the sub RX does have the
s-meter display working ok.

73, Steve

OK, the info I found:
To Activate the RAM-CLEAR feature.

1) PRESS and HOLD the VFOB-LCK button while turning on the radio.
2) WAIT until the BATTERY FAILURE message appears on the screen.
3) Answer YES when 'Clear User Memories?' appears on the screen.
4) Answer YES when 'Reset Optional Filters?' appears on the screen.
5) When radio screen appears, turn radio OFF and back ON.

BUT, 3) and 4) don't show (on the O2) is it different then the O1?
Memories are clear so it must do it automatically?

Now, I wait...
73, Steve
