Modem Response is cripling communication

[snoop]

When I run the AT response in the example folder, it works great when the xbee has constant power.  But when I unplug the battery and run the arduino from a cold start.  It returns a modem status reponse of 8A(associated) and criples all further communication.  It swaps high serial for the low and it never issues the assoc command. Any suggestions?

I guess a better explanation on what it is doing.  It sends an AT command but recieves a Modem status response instead.  Upon sending another command, the actual response of the previous AT command is returned.  So it is delayed by one command. 

 

SEND SH

receive modem status 8A=2

SEND SL

receive SH

SEND AI

receive SL

 

Maybe there is a way of dealing with the modem response on boot?

I noticed in the sleep example there is a "read packet" function thats called in the loop.  I just setup a small loop in the setup function and that read packets for 5 seconds.  This solved the problem.
