Despite your having mentioned this several times here in this Forum... 
including your experience at reaching nothing but a voicemail maze on the phone
... 
this problem yet persists?? If I remember right, someone on this Forum even 
challenged your efforts to try to reach a human being via phone?

Quick question- have you power-cycled the radio? (Not just with the power 
button, but unplug it for a few seconds then plug it back in.) I can't help but
 
wonder if the problem *might* be the receiver, as it just seems so ludicrous 
that the station would be *this* careless! If they are, well, it's their proble
m 
not yours... but let's rule out the possibility that it's your radio. Then we 
will know for sure: They just *don't care*.

As I said in another thread in the TZ; There is no lipstick made that will 
beautify this pig. Stations like this only compound the problem! 100% returns, 
indeed! Is it any wonder??
