Thanks for your assuming imput, I have in fact read the manual from front
to back and have seen the menu selection in "menu 3" that allows you to
do that.
Unfortunatly that is NOT my problem. My problem is that the clock resets
to 12:00 and the
frequency no matter what band your on resets back to 14.000.00. when you
turn the power off

<excerpt>As I said to that last person that told me to read the manual in
this

<excerpt>I indeed have read the manual and could not
solve my problem so I went to the mail reflector for assistance. I have
received many notes of assistance and only two gave
me smartass replies!!!!!!! 73 my friend

While I don't agree with this sort of reply, perhaps we can learn a
couple of lessons
from it:
First, assume nothing, and read nothing into messages.
Second, a response of "Read the manual" is not helpful, and may as well
not have been
sent. A more helpful reference would be, "Check page xx of the manual to
see if this
helps the problem."
