Well  things are getting weirder and weirder.  Holding the face of the  
handheld to a metal plate, tin foil, or another skin surface doesn't  result 
in any LCD failure.  Only when I hold it against my face  (mostly left cheek) 
will the display go out on transmit.  I do have  gold fillings in my upper 
teeth.  Any theories?  This is no  joke.  The manual does say to hold it in 
front of and away from your  face, for safety from RF....



Does it happen on both left and right sides of your face?  Yes, it  could 
very well be your metallic dental restorations.
