You have one of the Priority Scans turned on.

Alright, thanks. I felt that it may have had something to do with that but wasn't sure since it was on FM and on hold. If this is the case ill just live with it. I've got a perfectly good A/V receiver so I probably shouldn't be trying to listen to the game on it anyway, I was just tinkering.

Thanks,

The video shows that close call priority is enabled.

Just turn Priority scans off or to DND.

Thanks guys, that was easy. Just disabled close call priority and its cured. Still trying to figure everything out!

Edit: deleting vid. I don't want any reminders of this beatdown.

Not a beat down but it would be a good post to help others that got a Priority Turned on.

We all learn our lessons, and learning from others' mistakes helps us all to learn.

and for others,
that odd box on the right of the screen, with the big C in it, means that close call is on.
