Yes that’s it! I’m so used to pressing and holding the XMIT as I do that to tune my magloop (LNR). You can’t use the autotunes with a loop. Hopefully the next time I decide to go SSB I’ll remember! By the way-a loop and the KX2 make a great portable combination. The new addition of the CW logging feature is an absolute lifesaver for SOTA-when you’re on a tough location t’s tricky trying to juggle the radio and a notebook . Dan Presley N7CQR n7...@arrl.net
