Changing modes form any mode to an SSB mode turns off VAC1 even though Enable for Digital modes. Disable for all others is NOT checked. I need VAC1 enabled for all modes as I use CW Skimmer on CW and WinWarlber's Digital Voice Keyer on SSB both of which require VAC1. 73, Rich - W3ZJ

Yes, open a HelpDesk ticket. BTW, I can not replicate this issue by changing bands. Are you changing TX profiles? If so, whether VAC is on or off is set in the TX profile and if it is not saved, it will produce the behavior described. Tim Ellison On 9/5/2012 10:25 AM, Rich - W3ZJ wrote: Do
