Low signal gain until you sign on a second device

I'm using a Flex 6600 with the Maestro Interface.  When I turn on the radio there is little to no signal.  If I turn on a second device (iPhone) the signal pops up to normal and I hear and can work stations on both units.   If I disconnect the iPhone, I lose signal again on the Mastro.  The same behavior occurs if I log on to the phone first and then the Mastro.   The gain is set at 8+ on all devices.  The behavior is the same with or without an external tuner.   I have 1GB ethernet service to the radio and the Maestro unit (hard wired).  Very little packet loss. Low SWR and if I switch out the Flex with my ICOM everything works correctly - so no problem with the antenna, feedline or tuner. Any ideas why this occurs?
