Hmm ... how did you get on with the service menu on the radio. Was there a "Area" setting. Did you try changing that. Make a note of the setting before you change it ... just incase you need to change it back :-) I can't believe that will effect anything ... but you never know. Failing that, did you ever post the BM54 Part #. I know RichardP has one of the new (from 9.2005) BM54 Radios ....
