Tom, I thought that we were talking about menu 002 in the 480.  I don't
anyone mentioning menu 024.  I could be wrong, but I think that the
automatic mode selection relates only to upper and lower sideband.  I have
never had a rig that changes to CW just because you go down to that section
of the band.  If I am wrong about this, please correct me, Hi.

Subject: Auto-mode on the TS590 and TS480 again

Hi, all.

 

Well, I just checked the auto-mode option in menu 23 on the TS590.  Unless
I'm doing something wrong, it didn't seem to make a difference whether the
option was turned on or off.

 

In other words, if I switched to the CW portion of a band from the SSB
portion, using keypad frequency entry, the mode of the rig did not change,
regardless of whether I had the menu option turned on or off.

 

Obviously, I'm missing something here.

 

Will try it with the TS480 out at the RV this week-end, using menu 002 for
that rig.

 

If anyone can clarify this mystery, I, and perhaps others, would appreciate
it.
