EQ Always Active?

If the EQ button is enabled (Blue) the EQ is active on received signals whether the RX button is enabled or disabled.

Is that correct? 

I would expect that if the RX button is disabled the the EQ would likewise be disabled for received signals.

    The RX and TX are seperate. You turn them off and on as you want.  So when you set the EQ on or off,,for what? RX or TX?

    I guess I don't understand the point of having the RX and TX buttons in the EQ section if the state of the button does not reflect whether the respective EQ is active or not.

    Can someone explain the logic here?

    I'm confused.  You say you have an "EQ" button.  In V2.3.9 I only see ON, RX, & TX.  Are you referring to the "ON" button as EQ by chance?

    You have to remember that the RX and TX buttons are only there to select the displayed equalizer.  They don't change or display the active state of either equalizer.  The ON button does that (BLUE or GREY).

    I think what confused me the most was the state where both RX and TX are gray. That state should be disallowed.

    I agree, and that's why I hope someone from Flex reads this thread and enters this defect in the bug tracker,  Unfortunately, we haven't seen Tim on here recently, and he's the person who usually entered such bugs.

    The reason this came up was that I noticed that I could change the EQ with the ON button blue but with the RX button gray or blue.

    Again, thanks for your insight.

    Just another detail to straighten out...

    I was informed that Flex has taken a new approach to the community. I don't think they will respond to questions as they have in the past. Or not so soon.

    What did you hear is the right/new channel for questions like this? Some other discussion group?

    Thanks and 73

    That sounds like a step backwards to me-- If this is in fact true-- it will not be good!
