...The TX LED comes on when I push the PTT button, but no RF out when speaking. I'm no doubt overlooking something quite simplistic, but haven't found it yet... Inject an audio signal from your soundcard or ? into the lINE IN and see if you get Tx audio with MIC SEL set to LINE IN. The level

Craig, Furthur thoughts about your problem getting RF out in SSB mode. Be sure your filter settings are set correctly in the Config menu. FLTX SB must be set to your 2.7 or 2.8 KHz filter. My 2.7 KHz filter is in slot 2 so I have that set to FL2 (by turning the big VFO knob). If your Confi
