Mine, too. I frequently use TX Test for similar reasons, and would find this
very annoying. I also occasionally find myself trying to transmit and
nothing happening because I left it in TX Test, but I have now learned the
reason for it. There are lots of stupid things one can do with a radio, one
cannot expect it to prevent all of them. It is really the responsibility of
anyone using a radio for the first time to learn how to drive it.
