Butch, If you look at the keyboard layout article on Icanworkthisthing.com, you will find many of your questions answerede. For example, the TX Monitor function is switched on by tapping the function key followed by the middle key in the lefthand column of buttons immediately to the left of the tuning knob.

I'm told I should have gotten a coupon to send to Heil. They are supposed to send me one. Not sure which Heil mike it is. I wish we had more programmable function or programmable keys on the rig. I haven't figured out yet how to turn on xmit monitor, but still learning. Quite a lot to learn about this rig. I must thank all of you who put together ho to documentation on tis rig. Sure makes things a lot easier. 73s Butch Bussen wa0vjr
