Hello everyone.

This quiry is to all of you TS590 owners out there.

Several times now, I have noticed something really strange with my TS590, 
the cause of which I can't exactly pinpoint.  In fact, it happened again 
last night.

I was making some adjustments to my TS590, and suddenly, the receive 
sensitivity of the rig dropped.  In addition, I started getting some very 
weird SWR readings and output power readings as I went through the bands, 
and switched various antennas in and out.

Since I had the ARCP590 software, and all of my memories and settings saved 
for ready reference, I did a full re-set of the rig, hoping it would correct 
the problem.

When I was done with the re-set, the rig was still acting very strangely.

So, I simply turned it off, and went to bed.

This morning, I turned the rig back on, and everything was fine, as if 
nothing ever happened.

My theory is that something is tripping some sort of circuit protection 
system in the rig, and that, once the rig is idle, things somehow re-set 
themselves.

Again, I can't say for sure what I was doing that created the problem to 
begin with, but it didn't seem to be anything too significant.

I'm just curious as to whether anyone else has had this sort of thing happen 
to them.
