Morning Barry. I did as you recommended and the radio still switches into
key down CW. Sherman, I've reset the User1 and User2 parameters to
"default values". Jack, thanks for the suggestions: I replaced the battery
about 18 months ago, at the same time as I replaced the display and the
horrible Molex was replaced with an Anderson about 3 years ago !
My wife tells me "I'm one of a kind" but I'm sure somebody somewhere must
have had the same problem. The last thing I want to do is put in a box and
send it all the way to Sevierville. Paul's recommendation was a Master
Reset but that did nothing for the problem.
Everything else is fine !

Turn the Internal Keyer to "off" in the CW Menu.
There's no way a Keying Loop setting is going to force the rig to transmit,
or am I missing something?
With everything unplugged except a dummy load and power supply, and with
internal keyer "off", the rig still locks in transmit in cw mode?
