6300 no longer keys amp
Burch - K4QXX
Member ✭✭
My 6300 has been working great. Last night I was trying to work some DX and my 6300 wasn't keying my amp. I have a Ameritron ARB-704 keying buffer between my radio and amp and I notice the red XMT light was not coming on when I keyed the radio. My 6300 has always keyed the amp when the radio was turned on but before I launched the SSDR software. Once the software was loaded, the radio un-keyed and worked as expected. The radio still keys up the amp when I turn on the radio but don't have SSDR running but no longer keys the amp when I transmit. Any ideas?

Your tx has not been selected on your slice.

Check "Settings" and be sure RCA TX1 is enabled.0

So what did you find Burch?

I'm still at work so I haven't tried anything yet. I might not be able to work on it until tomorrow.0

That is what the problem was. I enabled RCA TX1 and I am back in business. What is weird is that I was tuning my amp when all of a sudden the amp quit keying. I wonder how that option got disabled?0

Burch, just as an aside, the amp keying issue in the 6300 (before starting SSDR) was determined to be a bug and is being fixed in 1.3 from what I understand. Flex did a good job of tracking that one down....1

I have converted this topic to a support HelpDesk ticket (http://helpdesk.flexradio.com) for expedited issue resolution. If anyone else is experiencing an issue similar to this one, please submit a HelpDesk support ticket for issue resolution.0

Similar problem. 6300 working great and keying amp when needed. All of a sudden, it goes from not keying amp at all to keying the amp QSK fashion (my amp relay is not suitable for that sort of operation. I had it working with enough delay to keep the amp relay from dropping out unless I deliberately paused. Haven't touched or changed a thing.
This happens with both the internal keyer and CWX . . . and CWX sometimes sends strange sounding code. Other times . . . well . . . maybe that's why my hair is getting so thin. Any resolution from those who had an earlier experience with Keying/Delay?0 -
Joe. I assume you have the "delay" slider cranked up on your TX Panel?0

Thanks, Steve. Yes, I have the TX panel delay set; I am using 420 which works best with my amp (an Ameritron ALS-600S). Yesterday's problem disappeared when I turned the rig and amp on this morning and everything is working perfectly. Can't figure what to attribute that to, except maybe the long, overnight power-off. I did not reboot the computer this morning, but did that yesterday while trying to find a solution to the problem. CWX is also working again. I appreciate your help.0
