1. Try and do anything (like clear the RIT) while TXing on CW.
2. Watch a computer program that likes to poll the radio all of the time
error out when it doesn't get a response from the radio because you are
TXing.
Another problem I have had: The radio will all of sudden QSY in to
never-never land. I assume it got zapped by RF and the microprocessor
freaked. The display will say some weird non-HF frequency. Only way to
clear it is by turning the radio off and on again. Do this a few times
in a contest and your patience for the radio grows thin... Even if the RX
is superior.
I also have a problem with drive power. Mine will put out about 95w on
most bands. I don't see an easy way to increase this power. At 95w, my
pair of 3-500Z's get to about 1KW. At 125W they will go to 1500W.
