RE: What The.... Noooooooo!
OOPS!!!!
A correction, I just tried to re-create this, and have spotted the flaw in my test, I was running the DF from a current limiting supply for my own safety. when I replaced this with the battery and secured the DF on another bench some distance away i get slighlty different results, when I hit it with a signal on the remote frequency ( blank carrier ) it goes CRAZY ape**** and tries to tear itelf from the bench
until I kill the other signal. The reason it was resetting on my current limited PSU was because it tried to pull full power, this cut the psu off vbriefly and reset the unit.
This explains the wild behavior reported by koop, but not my "drop like a stone" incident.
