When the vfo stops, the mixer stops. No mixer output will drop the
"hiss" to the noise floor of the IF (lower is better) and the s-meter
should drop to zero (no signal). The audio will drop to the noise
floor of the audio/IF chain since no signal is reaching the
detector/bfo (again lower is better). Sounds as if your TS-530S is
working exactly as it should.
