Sometimes I just have a brain mailfunction. All the answers made me realize that I needed to plug a switch in the back of the unit not in the front via my mic cable.
Once this was sorted out and the radio in CW and VOX on I could do what I wanted to do. I was aware of the tune function but I was slow at it and for the test I wanted to do, I wanted the ability to do short bursts and adjust the power while in key down. But I do learn. I even worked I32C in split mode the other day, and I am sure you guys remember my brain block questions back then. Thanks again for being a fun and understanding group. I as I slowly become a smarter and better operator. ~73 Don KD8NNU On Fri, Oct 7, 2011 at 6:44 PM, Ron D'Eau Claire wrote: > Don, just press TUNE as Dennis noted.
