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.

Thanks, Lin
You're the second person to confirm this. I'm not a big RTTY guy -- I
do it on occasion because it's novel. That and the cats like the
sound (I used to have cats that used to really go nuts over the TOR
modes). I simply noticed some odd behavior in the AGC and wanted to
make sure I wasn't doing anything really stoopud.

Hi Kim,
I just checked on this and found the same behavior as you describe.
