Now that my Flex-6700/SmartSDR is up and running, I find it is time to part with my Flex-3000. I purchased the 3000 in the Summer of 2009 and it has run flawlessly since then. Total on air time has been modest due to a military deployment and a period of illness in the last four years.

Hi David I sometimes see the same thing on my 3000. However, I just never worry too much about it. The difference between 74 and 100 watts is so small in actual RF signal. What do you see in CW? If you get 100W in CW, then it is an audio alignment. Have you done an audio chain alignment?

To me it makes sense that it runs both macros. If the monitor is on it would again turn it on (no real action) then it would turn it off. If it is off it would turn it on again and then immediately off. I recently added a macro to do the antenna tune function and had thought about adding the
