Well, the "reset" did nothing.
Inserted new battery at 3.25V, light blinked indicating power and station id 1, then made half a dozen transmission blinks, then nothing. Put console in setup mode and tried to get reception of #1. After fifteen minutes without success, I removed the battery, after which it blinked indicating id 1, then two transmission blinks, then nothing.
Battery voltage when removed was 2.88v, after sitting for ten minutes it was up to 2.94v. After sitting for an hour it was up to 2.98v.
Leaving early Monday morning for a couple weeks in AZ, so I guess this will have to wait until I get back.
Thanks for the replies.
