Well apparently the issue is a bad controller board, the radio has gone to the depot...i hope it will return...

Just from what you are saying there I'd say the board's clock went belly up. By belly up I mean it went to a 2.4Mhz clock instead of a 2.1. I've seen this on a few units but not many, generally it's due to an old old controller. For the price of the flat rate repair I'd say it's worth it for a brand new 6147 board (hopefully they still have those)
