I can assure you it is not something I programmed into the system. I checked the config menu (BND MAP) and all bands are in. Somehow I may have unintentionally programmed an issue into the system. I haven't programmed anything into the system so resetting the defaults should be no loss if all goes well. The curiosity is how I got into this mix in the first place. Included in this email is an image of the front panel that might give a clue.
I have the second edition of Fred Cady's book. Point me in the right direction and I'll plow through it. All: I really appreciate the help. 73 Stan KG7FYI On 04/29/2017 05:00 PM, Matt Zilmer-3 [via Elecraft] wrote: > I think Stan said he was on 10m, not a transverter band.
