The first led on amstrad signal meters

Post by Buick Mackane »

As a lot of you might already know i'm a sucker for an amstrad radio. Always loved them. But has anybody seen one where the first led (S3) wasn't continuously lit on receive ? I sure haven't :lol:

Was you a bit sweet on Mr Sugar also?
(sweet, sugar - get it?) ;) :lolno:

As for the LED thing can't remember if that was the case or not.

Edit.
Just thought, l think a 901 l once had the first led would go out depending on where the RF gain or squelch was set.
