Dave:
I realize that your reply was not directed to me, but please don't feel
foolish!
These modern rigs, like the TS590, are so complicated that is quite easy to
do something like this without knowing exactly what you have done and why
things have changed.
I have asked many questions on this list when I have found myself in a
similar unexplainable situation, and have gotten the help I needed within
hours.
That is what this list is here for, and why I'm so thankful to be a part of
it.

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
