But shouldn't the menu option be set to "off"?

Doesn't quite make sense to me, but I thought that was what was said the
other night.

Will have to check this out on both my 590 and 480.

Ok, I just checked and you are correct.  02 is auno and I will definitely
leave it in the on mode.  Thanks, Jim WA6EKS

Ok thanks Steve.  I have a menu file on the 480 in my BrailleNote which I am
using to write you.  Will check it out now to see what it says about menu
002.  Thanks, Jim WA6EKS

Jim,

  The menu list in the manual is a bit terse, but if you get the list from
icanworkthisthing.com

there is a bit more description for each item.

I may have mentioned this to you before, but i know a number of people with
the 590 (and I suppose the 480 as well)  who had trouble getting the
recording function to work, did better  doing it via the ARCP software.

 Alan, I guess the SAC is the 100 watt model right? If so, that's  the one I
have.  I've had it for about 4 years and love it.  Am  still learning
features about it because the menu descriptions  are pretty terse and don't
always provide clear information about  what function will actually be
changed by implementing a given  menu.  I still haven't figured out how to
make the thing record
 30 second audio clips or record voice or CW ID's using the speech  guide
chip.  But it's a terrific rig.  Jim WA6EKS

 Jim, I'd be interested in the answer to your question as well.

 Which model of the 480 do you have?  I bought my 480SAT from a  friend for
 $400 who had bought it a year or so ago, and other than hooking  it up one
time,  had never used it.  I bought it specifically for use on  six meters
only.  I drive my Commander legal limit amp, so the HX model  wouldn't have
done me any good.  I am quite pleased with the radio, though I  have never
tried it on HF, and under heavy QRM.  What is your opinion of the  rig?

 Does anyone know which menu number is auto mode on the TS-480?

 Subject: Re: TS-590 Default Mode

 Hi Jim,

 That did the trick!  I guess I assumed that auto mode meant it  would
automatically switch mode depending on the frequency.  I'll have  to  read
the manual section and find out exactly what auto mode does  automatically.

 Thanks and 73,

 Dave, W7OQ

 Dave, looks like you've turned on auto mode, menu 23.  It'll  likely clear
up  if you turn that off.  It's discussed in the manual, page 51.

 Subject: TS-590 Default Mode

 When I first received my TS-590, I think it defaulted to CW mode  when  I
entered a frequency in the CW portion of a band.  Now it seems  to  default
SSB mode when I key in a frequency regardless of where I  am  going to in
the band.  I've been through the menus and can't seem  to  find a relevant
setting.  Do any of you who have owned the
TS-590
 for
 a while have any idea what I might have changed?  I'm assuming  something
did change and it isn't just my failing memory!  I'm  about  98% CW, so it
is a minor annoyance to have to change mode  whenever I  key in a CW
frequency.

 73,

 Dave, W7OQ
