Odd signal meter phenomenon
 

I have a remote control that I sometimes use with my R8B. It's a great
accessory, so I use it a lot. However, I've noticed something strange.
If I turn the receiver off with the remote and then turn it on using
the front panel power button, the receiver powers up but the signal
meter just sits there and the needle doesn't move. No other aspect of
the receiver's functioning seems unusual--only the signal meter.
Likewise, if I power the receiver off using the front panel button and
then turn it on using the remote, the same thing happens.

On the other hand, if I use only the front panel button or remote to
turn the receiver off and then on, there's no problem. The signal meter
works as usual.

This makes zero sense to me. Any thoughts about what explains this
weird phenomenon?

Thanks,

Steve

I was making a guess. I do not have so nice a radio s.

mechanisms for starting the meter are diffierent. If you use the
remote the
programming responds differently to the action. It would appear that
there
is no connection between operations using the remote and a manual
action.
Evidently the operation is not complete if you switch between manual
and
remote modes, so the code does not run its usual course and therefor
does
not start up again because it was never finished.



Maybe there's nothing odd here...I don't have a lot of technical
expertise. It just seemed funny that the "connection between
operations" would be incomplete in so particular and well-defined a
way, where the ONLY thing affected is the signal meter. But hey...maybe
this happens all the time.
