[Elecraft] XMIT button not working?

[Wayne Burdick]

XMIT was disabled only for FSK-D and PSK-D data submodes. It can still be used in DATA-A and AFSK-A submodes.

There are three ways to transmit in FSK-D and PSK-D modes:

1.  Keyer paddle

2.  Message play (M1-M4 tap) or message repeat (M1-M4 hold)

3.  Text packet from a host computer or macro (see KeYing command, KY<TEXT>)

XMIT was disable for FSK-D and PSK-D as part of a much larger firmware makeover having to do with T/R, the USB port, and safe exit from transmit. 

If you need to test transmit while in these or any other modes, you can do a TUNE.

73,
