This happened to me also. Radio was in the receive mode but the centurion amp was indicating that it was transmitting as the transmit light was on and I was seeing plate current. I have reloaded the 2.31 software and the problem has left for now. Gene WB9HLA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Castro" <ronc@sonic.net>

The Ten Tec keying loop in the 425 is probably different than the Ameritron. It is possible to hear with the linear in transmit, and in fact I did, just not very well. There is enough inter-electrode capacitance in the 3CX800's
to pass some signal back from the antenna to the input.  Sort of an
attenuator with 2,400 VDC on it!

Ron - if the QSK loop is open, the rig does not transmit.

His problem was that 2.031 seemed to "stick" with TX OUT pulled low keying
his amp even though the radio was in receive mode ??  (Is that even
possible?)

I've been playing with mine using the loop on an AL-1200 on and off all
morning, seeing if I could duplicate it, but it's working without a hitch.
