I've also noticed that if I move the AGC-T control down the gain decreases as expected, but raising it back up doesn't bring the gain back up until I change modes off AM and back again. If I remember correctly this isn't 100% repeatable, but unfortunately I haven't as yet identified the exact

I use the TUN button, you can set the power out on it to anything you like like settings under the Transmit Tab. If you want a two tone you can go in the test section and set one up. Or you could go into the CWX console and set up some dashes or dots to get a tune cycle that is not 100% duty

The FLEX-x000 has a hot front end. If your radio is exposed to strong signals from BCB stations, the mixing products can show up on 160 and 80m. If you have the preamp turned on for 160 and 80m, you should turn it off. If that helps some, then you probably are going to need a BCB filter (I
