When you enter recording mode leave the radio in regular transmit mode. It won’t be sending your recording on air as you are recording it. It automatically senses that you’re recording,not transmitting. Same for all Elecraft rigs and many other makes. After you enter it into a memory you can play it back in TST mode should you choose to.

Second, the section that you reference on page 18 says 'All message operations start with a press of MSG....' As such, I don't get the impression that one first needs to toggle TST mode on.
