Alan,

I haven't tried to duplicate your exact sequence with my Orion and 1.370.  However, on mine I have noticed what appears to be an anomaly which may explain what you are seeing.  With "PTT IN CW AS" set to "NONE" the "AMP 1" line is being driven which in my case drives my external T/R switch causing the antenna to be disconnected from the receiver.  If your "AMP 1" is driving your linear I wonder if your situation matches mine if the internal T/R sequence in your amp is being activated.  It certainly does not seem normal for the AMP lines to be activated when setting this menu option to NONE.

I'll defer reporting this to Ten-Tec for a couple of days.  Perhaps others have determined that this is normal and will be helpful in explaining why this is so.  Or perhaps my Orion is acting in a unique way.

With "PTT in CW as" set to "None" pressing the Tune button and then off
kills the receiver on my rig.  Works as expected when set to Key or MOX.

Has anyone else seen this?
