[1000mp] AW: New owner question

[Xander Langschmidt]

It seems this button combination works upon turning on the TRX, the 
display will show some gibberish and after that both the main and sub 
are at 7.000 Mhz. Then none of the buttons work. It indeed looks like a 
keyboard lock, except that it doesn't respond to pushing the lock 
button, to unlock it. I have seen descriptions of this problem on at 
least 2 diffrent places on the internet both of the times the solution 
had something to do with disconnecting some wrong equipment that was 
hooked up to the CAT connector, I have currently nothing connected 
there. However when I use a demo of TRX-manager I can use all the 
functions and the radio responds. I found one more strange thing, 
despite being able to change the mode with TRX-manager, the display 
still shows LSB, no matter what mode I choose. However judging from the 
audio, when tuned to a broadcast station I am certain that the mode 
changes from LSB to AM or CW. Also as said all dials seem to work, I can 
change the frequency on the main and sub, also the jog-dial works, but 
the VRF and IDBT buttons on the jog dial don't work.

To me it seems like the buttons are indeed locked after turn-on, but 
somehow, the processor doesn't "process" a change of that state. Also 
when I use the TRX-manager software to do a lock the lock indicator on 
the display will show. I tried locking and unlocking that way, somehow 
hoping to reset the lock, but all it does is lock and lock the dials.

I hope this helps, somehow. I'll be happy to answer any other questions 
if it helps me getting to solve this puzzle.
