That's an easy one. The 796 does not cover the UHF TV band.

It also does not cover 700 MHz which, as a
band, did not exist when the 796 came out.

25-512 MHz, 806-956 MHz (cell blocked),
and 1240-1300 is what it covers.

So, everyone should have that 'problem'.

Is sent a reply yesterday and it hasn't shown up yet so I will repost
it. More than likely the contact points under those keys have effectively broken
(not doing their intended operation) and need some repair. The best way I know
of is to get a circuit restore pen from radio shack and disassemble the radio to
access the back side of the key pad and circuit board, using the pen lay down
new "wiring" across the three non-working areas let it dry and then test and
reassemble.
