Hi Slater,

Check to see if you have the rig set to TEST mode instead of OPER. You
change this setting in CW mode by using the VOX button. If it is in TEST
mode the rig doesn't transmit and the diagnostic message is "Lo P" when you
try to run TUNE. (It happened to me once after I did some practice sending
with a new Hex Key paddle.)

Good luck,
