    No it will not, that is how I discovered the danger of this. Even though we do not have a V3 manual I used the V2 are reference, when set to "Specific Slice" mode PTT has no bearing.

    Thanks Ed, will try this combo. I was relying on info in the V2 manual as I can not find a 3 version.

    I was hoping for tracking without doing a PTT. *IF* MultiClient would name Slices in sequence of activation, verse have duplicate Slice A (or B) on the same radio it would eliminate the issue. 

    Thanks for your feedback.

    Or, the software could just remove the TX flag on the slice(s) when MultiFlex PTT is not enabled on a client?

    The Elecraft stuff doesn't really have an issue with bandswitching on TX, but I would prefer to have it switch when the MultiFlex PTT is enabled.

    Yes either way would magnify it's usefulness.

    The USB cable feature should bandswitch to the client with the MultiFlex PTT  enabled without needing to actually  TX to make the switch happen.  I tried every combination of USB cable settings and even set clients to different Flex TX antennas--no difference in operation.  I have a feeling that the USB cables feature wasn't tested very thoroughly?

    Again, we don't have much documentation, so it is hard to know how the designers intended MultiFlex to be setup/operated.
