Hi, Steve. Hadn't figured that out. So, for example, if I want to
reverse sideband to send CW to reduce interference, I'd hold down the
mode button to get to the sideband I want?
As for USB/serial cables, do they come with drivers? Never used
one. The RT Systems seem to want their own software, even after
installing the drivers and not the software; they sell cables without
the software, just the cable drivers. Thanks for the info.--Matt.
