Hello Martin,
I agree with you and what you said abt the lack of technical knowledge apply to
me but basically because I had not found further reference condensed in a book.
I define myself as contester but all my knowledge is based upon the experiences
shared trough Internet lists and trial & error.
Good Shot!!!!
PD: Regarding the start-up, if the radio had been unused for a day, takes abt
30 secs to appear SYSTEM LOADING and another 30 for full start-up.
But after being turned on for minutes, if I turned off and then on takes abt 10
secs too!!!
I will made a total reset and see what could be happening.
