1) Are you changing bands on the rig or by using N1MM+?

   a) If "rig" - Data Mode is stored by band.  Change it on each band.
   b) If "N1MM+" - be sure to set "Digital Modes" to AFSK

Assuming this is with N1MM+ - set the rig port to allow Command PTT for
digital and make sure all your messages end with the command to return
to receive (%E or %R - I'm not sure and not in front of N1MM).
