[Flexradio] RX2 question

Have an RX2 installed in my 5000 but have a question. When I select RX2 in the RX2 window both displays are always for the same frequency. If RX1 is lets say 3.790 and I go the RX2 RX selector and pick 40m ,RX1 switches to 40m. And that happens even if RX2 is not selected (highlighted). No m

Todd It sounds very much like a bad T/R relay. Unless you are putting out enough power when keying the mic to correct an antenna issue. I see the problem with sticky T/R relays on the older radios with knobs. Once you fix the problem temporarily by keying the mic, does it stay good for a while? Or

I have a 3000 and have noticed a drop in signal at times. I have confirmed this by monitoring a beacon signal . I never noticed this until I upgraded to the latest software. Its like you lose a couple of "S" units on the signal , I can key the mic on the Flex and signal will return to normal. Ha
