[Orion] Orion 565 locks in CW tx mode

[Barry N1EU]

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?
