Frank,

Maybe you want to turn on auto mode?  Menu 27.

Below is a very rough menu list that I took from the control software. 
  I think I actually did half with the caps lock on and half with the 
caps lock off.   I'm also sure some typos.  Not sure when I will get 
arount to clean it up, so  use it as a reference, and not as Gospel.

73, Steve KW3A
