Re: unable to change frequencies
To all who suggested the keypad may be locked:
The original poster said his friend HAD DONE "A FULL FACTORY RESET." The
radio WILL NOT be locked after a full reset.

Re: unable to change frequencies
He sent me a picture of the radio definitely not locked and on the default frequency from a reset. I did a reset on mine to compare and it matches except I have full control.

Re: unable to change frequencies
He said his friend had done a factory reset on the radio which would
clear the keypad/dial lock. In fact, can a reset even be done if the
keypad is locked? I don't know.

Re: unable to change frequencies
Sounds like the keyboard lock is on. Press and hold the 6 key for 1 to 2 seconds to unlock.

Has he tried holding the #6 key which locks & unlocks the keypad &/or channel selector knob depending on how the lock menu item is set up.

Re: unable to change frequencies
If the "6" keys is pressed and held, that locks the controls on the radio. To unlock the controls, just hold "6" key down again.
