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.

Battery?

 

All seems ok with battery Gus. No other issues. Let's see how she is tomorrow morning.

This was just a strange one. Just when you think you've seen it all. . .

 

You just need to program the alternate FM. There are no preset stations in the ALT MEM.

Or just go back to the regular FM.

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.
