During the CQWW RTTY contest just concluded I happened to accidentally QSY
to 17m and my radio basically locked up in transmit mode, it'd "blip" into
RX every second or so, but go right back to TX before I could do anything
to stop it.  The only way out seems to be the band selector buttons on the
KPA500 which allowed me to switch back to 20m.

I checked all the other bands and did not observe this behavior, it's only
17m.  I'm at a total loss as to what is happening as it doesn't appear to
have anything to do with the computer interface (I unplugged the USB cable
from the rig and the problem persists).  It may be the case the problem has
been with me a long time as my antenna is not resonant on 17, so I hardly
every go there.

Corrupted config or firmware maybe?

Thanks,
