I've had this nice little handheld for a few weeks.  Does anyone else on the 
list own one?  Does anyone have a problem with the LCD going bonkers on high 
power (5W)?  When I put the radio up to my cheek so my face is touching the 
LCF screen and transmit, the LCD display shifts around and then goes blank - 
it doesn't do this if I speak directly into the mic from the front, not 
touching the face.  Battery is fully charged.  I think RF is being coupled 
from the antenna through my head then into the LCD and causing it to garble 
and turn off.  Heavens knows what that RF is doing to my ear or brain! 
Anyone else experience this with a handheld like this?  Jim N4BE
