Every now and then the S-meter on my R8B will 'take a nap'. The needle

It's easy enough to fix this. All I have to do is rotate the gain
control clockwise and the needle will spring to life again and work
just fine. Still, I'm curious about why it happens.

I'd say it happens about once a month.

Any ideas?

Maybe a small bit of dust got in there and hangs the meter mechanically?

Yeah, sounds like it just gets hung up. He might want to check with Drake to see
how much a replacement meter is, or to see if they have a quick fix for it.
