I was able to figure out how to program the radio. following are the steps. 1. select the radio channel (frequency). 2 puch the program on the remote. 3. push up or down to select the channel. 4. push progra,. 5. push L or R to select the channel. The one thing I have not been able to do is to turn off the weatehr channel,(NOAA). What I have tried is to slect a NOAA channel that the radio does not pick up. The idea is that if the radio does not receive the NOAA cahnnel, then it should not come on when NOAA tranmits th code to turn on the radio.
