In future try SMART :

S - switched on
M - meter showing battery is good
A - antenna extended
R - Rates set ?
T - Trims set ?

Not mine, I stole it from the BMFA (British equivalent of AMA) handbook but it's saved me a couple of times.

Now I have a radio with multiple model memories I've also learned that when I check the controls I have to check not only that they waggle around but also that they go in right direction. Don't ask how I learned it.....
