I just bought a Yaesu FTA 230 and the number 6 button doesn't work despite the display recognizing I've pressed a button and lighting up. Does anyone know if I got this stuck in some sort of mode?

Otherwise I need to return it as faulty.

Thanks,

James.
 
There is a way of "factory resetting" the radios CPU, its in the operating manual. you will have to set all your saved frequencies again but it will probably fix the problem.

1, Turn the radio off

2. press and hold the ENT key and the MONITOR key while turning the radio on

Would be worth a try
 
That reminds me of:

"I bought a new phone though. I didn't have much money so I had to buy an irregular phone -- it had no number 5 on it. I saw a close friend of mine the other day... He said, "Steven, why haven't you called me?" I said, "I can't call everyone I want. My new phone has no five on it." He said, "How long have you had it?" I said, "I don't know... My calendar has no sevens on it."
