Lance,
you can disable TX-out by TX INHIBIT signal to be sure you are not 
emitting RF. It is possible by some short pins on connector only or 
you can force this together with PTT from the second RIG. Then you do 
not need to go to TX TEST mode manually and you will disable TX only 
when second RIG will go to TX.
But do not understand why you are not able to XMIT now... If something 
strange then F/W reloading I will do as the first. But...

GL in the Contest,
73!
