I have a Pro-2052 I got from an estate sale, and when I try to do the software reset in the manual (2 and 9 while turning on) it says clear and appears to complete successfully, however the memory is never cleared and it appears stuck I the same configuration every time it gets turned on - same frequencies programmed, same banks scanning, and in the remote mode (sft flashing).
Regardless of what I try, even deleting each individual programmed channel and programming new ones, resetting the scanner, etc, it always ends up back at the same place.
Is there a memory battery hidden somewhere under the black goo on the circuit board that I'm missing? Is there a more comprehensive reset then the 2 & 9 reset? Is it just plain broke?
Thanks in advance. I'm trying to get this scanner working to give away to a new ham-in-training 12 year old so he can listen in to the ham repeaters and stuff, but its pretty useless if I can't program it.
