I just checked on RTTY and could no reproduce that problem. S-meter
operates as in other modes, but I have noticed that when tuning, the S-meter
freezes along with the sweep and will not change until you stop tuning.
I also just ran a test with a signal generator trying to recreate the 'red
screen' problem with a strong signal but was not able to with signals up to
0 dBm. It must be caused by something else.
