Yes, please leave it alone. It seems to me like a non-problem. Personally I
never use test mode although I have accidentally activated it since it is a
hold function of the mode button. I could not imagine operating a radio
without some sort of external metering in the antenna feed line. Currently I
have an analog cross needle SWR meter in the line and I hardly ever transmit
without confirming visually that I am emitting RF power and that SWR looks
normal. There's gotta be more important issues for Elecraft to pay attention
to.
