happens if you push and hold MODE/ALT to switch sidebands while in LSB mode? Will it not change to USB at all? If it won't, I'd try reloading the last release version of the firmware. Then if that's OK, try the beta again. Perhaps a bit fell in the bit bucket during the upload. - Julian, G4ILO

is TXG necessary at all? Why can't you just turn the mic gain up until you have plenty of drive, and then use the power control to set the output power using the ALC? That's all I recall having to do on other radios. - Julian, G4ILO. K2 #392 K3 #222. http://www.g4ilo.com/ G4ILO's Shack http
