[Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 135, Issue 8

[Greg]

I have the opposite problem...using version 5.29.  My data mode reverts to
AFSK A after mode change and turning radio off and back on.  I want it to
remain on FSK D for all bands.  Am I doing something wrong?  73, Greg-N4CC

Many thanks Joe.

The latest firmware fixed the problem.  All works well.
Cheers

Greg,

What firmware?  There was a bug in setting VFO B data mode fixed
in firmware 5.13.

73,
