tr USDX doesn't work.

How all. First post to this site.
I have been interested in activating parks and I have been trying to get a go bag ready. I wanted to start out small at first to see how it went. I purchased a tr USDX from Amazon by DL2MAN, but ever since I got it I have not been able to get it going.
I followed the instruction sheet that came with the radio to a T, but it just doesn't work. No matter what I do with the programming, it will not load my call, or work at all.
The sheet said that the serial number should be on the screen and if it isn't there, it could be defective. All it shows is 'trusdx' in the upper corner.
Is there some way to erase the programming and start over, or is there someone who could check it and see if it is defective? Have had no joy with Amazon. I understand it is a compromise radio, but it should at least be able to hear signals.
Would appreciate any help. Thanks and 73.
