Oh thank you thank you thank you.

That was all too easy!!!!!!

Yes, the BSET was on AUX.

And I noticed it needs to be set for each band....wow, every day is a new learning experience.

What a radio, what a resource this reflector is.

Maybe I need to read the manual a 3rd time.

I have been told that it is an internal connection, but I am not sure that it does not feed from the coax connected to the ATU.  If you only have one antenna connected, check the Bset and be sure that antenna 1 is selected if you are not using a second antenna.
