[Kenwood] Kenwood TS-940SAT S Meter

[brian tempero]

All,

This is my first post. I have a strange issue with my kenwood ts-940SAT.
Here is the issue:
My radio receives and transmits very well. The issue is that my S meter
barely works. If a really strong signal comes in the needle spikes and then
slowly descends. If the signal is not really strong the needle does not
move. 
When I transmit the needle works without issue in all settings (power, swr,
acl and so on).  I have all the knobs set per the operating manual for first
use. I am stumped at this issue.

Thank you for reading this issue and all comments or suggestions are
welcome.
