This is primarily for use with full break in QSK
amplifiers for proper RX/TX timing. Having the "Enable
Keying Loop" ON implies that the TX EN / TX OUT
connections are in use. So the behavior you see is
correct for a barefoot rig and "Enable Keying Loop"
ON.

Don't recall what the default for TT 1.71 control
software is/was. I've always upgraded existing
installs so wouldn't have noticed it even if it was
different by default. The value of this setting is
stored in the pegasus.ini, so once it is set correctly
it should persist.

Not sure I fully understand what you are describing,
however you mention using digital modes. Could it be a
simple mater of the Computer being heavily loaded CPU
use wise?? This cold cause sluggish display update
behavior of the control program. There may also be a
built "hang" vlaue for those settings. I must admit
though that I don't use the TT control software all
that often so don't remember if I saw that kind of
behavior or not.

Is the antenna SWR actually OK and doesn't need any
tunning??

Does this happen when scanning or using the sweep
function? If so it may just be a matter of the
frequency crossing a boundary of where the TX low pass
filters switch, for example you will hear a relay
switch as you cross 4.005 MHz. There similar points
accross the rest of the spectrum where you see the
same thing happen for each of the low pass filters.

I hope this sheds some light on what you are seeing.
