I just picked-up a Pro-96 last weekend and today I was going through
the manual trying out different features. The feature I was trying out when
I ran into a problem was the "weather alert demonstration."
Before I go into the steps I followed to run into the problem, I must
warn anyone who tries this that I locked-up the radio and the only way out
was to wipe the memory. So if you try to reproduce this have a way to get
your frequencies back into the radio.
I had the radio in WX mode listening to the local weather broadcast.
The manual says to press FUNC and hold down WX to activate the weather
alert demonstration. However when I do this the demonstration never happens
and the radio appears to be locked-up. Cycling the power doesn't get it
out. Pressing the reset button on the side doesn't help either. The only
way to restore the radio to normal operation is to do a factory reset (and
loose all of your memory channels). Has anyone else noticed this problem?
