V-e-e-ery interesting!!

There is this problem is known and fixed by many users O2.

When I have addressed with this problem in the TenTec service center to me 
have advised to send my device to England for guarantee repair.

I live in the city of Nadym (GL:MP65GM) which 3000 kilometers from Moscow 
are almost, and then to England, approximately as much. I think a way remote 
for my device and probably ineffectual.

Probably it is necessary to expect the next addition in program maintenance 
of the transceiver where this problem can be solved. Or all this is solved 
technical adjustments?

Nikolai, UA9KM
