TX signal in waterfall - persistence missing

Hi, haven't seen this (small) problem before: I - being a digital only flexer - like seeing
my transmitted signal in the waterfall. This can be switched on in the radio tab.
With the new version this setting is not persistent anymore, it gets lost from time to time,
most often when I change profiles and I have a lot of them...

My radio is a Flex-6500, newest firmware, Win7 64bit HE.

    I don't have the manual in front of me, so I am shooting from memory here...
    That may have been moved to the MIC audio profiles.  
    The reason may be because some ops may want to see TX in the waterfall when using digital modes and not see it when in voice modes.  The MIC profiles are linked to mode, so it makes sense to me if that is the way they did it.

    Hi Ken, thank you for your answer. No, the button is still in the radio tx setup tab.
    If I click it, it turnes blue, but it does not stay on... No big problem, as all else works.
    I only would like to have the CW settings in a transmit profile, but I "liked"
    that idea already ;-)

    I'm almost positive that is saved in the TX profile.

    I'll try that, have to re-save all my digital tx profiles, though /-)

    This parameter is stored on the Global Profile

    Ok, Tim, that's new and - I'm sure - somewhere in the manual that I haven't read ;-) I'll save the new settings tomorrow in my profiles.
    UPDATE: No, I'm right this time - nowhere does it say that waterfall tx is saved
    in a profile ...

    It isn't in the manual.  It was inadvertently omitted from the global profile table.  That oversight will be corrected.

    Ok, Tim! Thanks a lot! Changing my global profiles I had another idea:
    Why take TX inhibit and TX power to a global or TX profile?
    We German HAMs - for instance - can output only 25 watts EIRP on 6m,
    and if you want to monitor a band or you are experimenting with an antenna
    which can only take - say 10 watts, you'll want to tx inhibit or limit rf output in that special profile.
