I have seen occasional mention of this problem on here and have seen it myself many times. The "Switch Relay" boxes in the Antenna pull down menu seem to come unchecked on their own with the normal consequence the amplifier will not key. This happened to me enough that I almost automatically reached for the mouse when the amp would not key.
I believe I found the cause of this. I had become convinced it had something to do with starting things up and it turns out it does. I am running DDUtil which has an Amps control page. One of the things on this page is an Amp Stby/Operate button which among other things manages the switch relay check boxes. This operates in conjunction with Amp Bands check boxes which are on the Setup page. When no amps are checked the Stby/Operate button defaults to Stby AND forces the check boxes to all off. As part of its startup process DDUtil appears to check for this condition and sends the commands to uncheck the Switch Relay boxes. I have ran this several times and it does it every time. The solution is simple, set up DDUtil for the bands you want and put DDUtil into "Oper" on the amps page. Note that DDUtil remembers the drive setting and Switch Relay box setting per band so this is really quite handy. 73 de Bill WB0VHW _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
