[Elecraft] Elecraft Firmware 4.25 / MicroHAM / N1MM 11.1.4

[Brian Moran]

Thanks to all of the responses. "Dual RX always on" helps with the sub-rx being 
generally left on. However, the VFO-B window was still 'popping' at each CQ, and 
with dual-rx-always-on, a noticable 'chunk' is heard in the audio at the 
tx-to-rx transition. Oh, and the VFO-B window was still being displayed with 
buttons having no legends on them. 


With so many configurable features between the K3, N1MM, microham router, etc. I 
can understand the assumption of "pebkac" on the part of responders, so I 
continued to try to solve this. I've been using N1MM for a very long time, and 
can usually diagnose it pretty well.

What I did find that solved the 'VFO-B' window popping with no labels issue was 
changing (in the configurer tab) from SO2V to SO1V, saving, sending CQ, then 
immediately switching back to SO2V. 


Let me repeat that: Changing from SO2V to SO1V, then back to SO2V, should (in 
theory) produce no different results. However, it did/does. And for now, it 
solves my issue.

If someone else encounters this issue, perhaps this benign suggestion of 
changing from SO2V to SO1V and back again will help.

Exactly, if "Dual Rx always on" is not set, MM will kill the sub RX AND turn off 
diversity every time you click on a spot to QSY.   73, Guy.
