Howdy Clif. Yes I've tried the key sequence as you mentioned to no
avail (may have mentioned it in an earlier post). The owner (a
competent operator) indicated that the radio turned on like this at some
point and hasn't changed. Inside the rig appears untouched and original
with no mods or signs of rework. Rest of what I know is, as mentioned
in a previous post. Thanks for taking the time to read.

You have tried a full reset (MR + Power on) correct???

How about a little history on how it got this way, IE was modding the
radio????
