Hi Jim, Steve,
It's time for me to eat my own words! I should have learned by now
not to trust my memory. For months now I have been using the antenna
tuner on-off button thinking it was the QSK on-off button. I shutter
to think how many times I have supposedly gone off line using that
button while reprogramming the keyer memories in the TS-590. Somehow
I must have pressed the real QSK on-off button to the off
position. That's apparently the default setting, so when I did a
system reset, it defaulted to QSK off. I feel extremely
foolish. Thanks for your suggestions though!
73,
Dave, W7OQ
