Martin; How old is this radio? Your description sounds like the
memory battery is weak. The flashing you saw was the CPU wiping
memory and resetting. Suggest, if it happens again, replace the
battery, or at least clean the contacts. Good Luck. Dave

> Hi, all.
>
> I was using my FT-900AT at the weekend, I had programmed Shannon Volmet
> into
> memory 1 (3.413 USB). I then pressed the power off button, and the rig
> switched
> off. However, when I pressed power on, the display came up flashing on and
> off,
> with about a 1/2 second interval, with no audio coming from the spaeker. I
> cycled power and it was fine again, except that memory 1 reverted to it's
> default setting (The rest of the memories are fine).
>
> This behaviour only occurred once, but is not documented in the manual.
> Has anyone else ever experienced an FT-900AT coming up with the display
> flashing on and off ?!
>
> Any help appreciated,
