Hello. Yes, I’ve have this same action when the sweep terminates.

I believe it to be that the RF level is not reset to the value it had

before the sweep began. I wrote to them about it 8 or 9 years ago.

They replied “Will let engineering know about it”. 


If you press the RF button again, it will reset it the level.

Hard to notice it if your RF is set to max, here, I ride the RF

around 30% and then play with the AF control.


FWIW..
