I'm just going to repeat myself here. You may have a problem
specific to your radio since there's no history of this as an issue.
It would certainly be worth a call to tentec service to discuss it with
them. There are always a few radios with out-of-the-box issues,
infant mortality problems, etc. and you may have just drawn the
winning number on this. If that's the case, and the problem is
repeatable in the shop, I'm sure they'll be able to take care of it for
you. No point in living with a problem, even if you don't use sweep
very often.
