I bought an ALinco DR 590 dual band amature radio at a hamfest. It is a
mobile. Got it home, hooked it up, everything on the display lit up. I
mean everything, even things that were not supposed to. The frequency
number has stange lines in it. It was not usable.

You asked this same question, about what I assume is this same radio,
back in January of this year. There was a whole thread of discussion,
which lasted over a month.

The thread seems to have ended up with pretty much everybody
concluding that you'd have to send the radio back to the manufacturer
for repair, if you want it to work properly.

I think that's still your best choice. Asking the same questions over
and over again, and expecting people to be able to diagnose an
intermittent problem at a distance, seems unlikely to help matters.
