"No FM" Message
This is a curiosity, not a crisis. Wanted to see if you ever heard of this before.
Got in the car today, normal day. Turned radio on, display said No FM. I noticed that the "A" channels were selected, the ones that can be auto programed, you bring them up by pressing the O button at bottom of keyboard.
Investigation showed that none of the 9 A buttons had any stations programmed, they had all been wiped out!
The P buttons and those 9 stations in memory were unchanged, all worked perfectly. Fyi, I pressed scan to display a station on the A button display and was able to manually program 9 stations in. All 9 stations had to be stored before the auto program would work.
All's ok now. Have you ever heard of this? I wonder what could have caused it.

Gus, Bob,
Thanks for the input. Battery is good, problem has not returned. Bob, you are correct, but what I ran into was: No FM message, the inability to auto program anything. As soon as I pressed the 0 Button (one holds it down for a few seconds to start autoprograming, it shifted the display to the other set of FM stations. Like I said before I got around this by pressing Scan. As soon as first station came up I programed it into button 1 by holding 1 down for a few seconds. I needed to fill up all 9 buttons' memory like this before the auto programing would work.
I am only posting this for future reference. I figure someone someday will run into this strange message and do a search on it. Maybe this will help somone down the road.
