Surprising.  Sounds like maybe (1) the transmitter was disabled in the 
menus (that could have been intentional if there wasn't an official control 
op or someone else supervising who hit the PTT button), or (2) 
somebody fiddling with menus turned on the QSK keying loop which will 
prevent the radio from transmitting unless a compatible amp is connected 
to the loop, etc..  

They might have even locked it down in a special firmware load for the 
first reason above.
