However, if I change modes to sideband, or switch bands to a band that I left in sideband the unit stays in tune mode but there is no indication on the display. Several times I've been fooled trying to tune up on SSB but getting no output, the power display showing 0.1 or 0.2. Then I remember that I was in test mode on CW. If I change modes to CW the "c" indicator is flashing. I can then turn it off with the VOX button and then switch back to SSB and all is well. Is this normal? ----------------------- Yes. TEST mode is entered in holding MODE in CW mode and it applies to both CW and SSB mode and any band. In SSB, the flashing U or L sideband indicator is used to indicate VOX mode instead of PTT mode. And, yes, I've wondered where the RF went on occasion <G>. I use TEST mode whenever I'm away from the rig or have it on while puttering around the operating desk because I operate with headphones and it'd be too easy to accidentally key the rig and never notice.
