    Ok, just trying to possibly come up with scenario to explain your problem.

    try exporting your profiles, then factory reset the radio. Set you TX band settings manually and see if it still happens.

    you can always import your profiles again.

    It has been well reported to Flex that this new auto save is ****, unfortunately I have come to the conclusion that they do not listen to customers anymore.

    It happened to me also. This morning no PTT to amp. Finally found the TX menu had all tx1 check marks removed.

    Yes, "legacy"refers to original Flex method of Profile management.
    "Pre-flight" checklist captures the precautionary concept marvelously.
    The preferred original Profile approach allowed you to set it in Profiles and forget it.

    It's never incorrect to rehash safety...
    The current Profile management approach puts linear amplifiers at risk.

    Same here!  No upgrade until I have control up when the profile saves!

    I do not use profiles at all. I created a profile to drop the power from the Flex to 40W  when using the Amp, but it did not drop but I cought it quick enough that I did not harm the input to the Amp. Just use a few memories now.

    //sarcasm So how did you manage the Flex until now? I imagine it was a nightmare to you until the new profile feature. Power wheel on my icom is right next to the squelch... When are we getting that? //sarcasm It is a reasonable request to be able to turn off an unwanted feature, no one is asking Flex to do anything that wasn't there before. It is unbelievable to me that this has not been fixed already.

    Autosave is the one and only issue that has kept me from upgrading to V3 of SSDR.
    I am very happy with SSDR but autosave in its current form is a terrible idea.
    If the reason for creating this "feature " was avoid people from contacting support the way this should have been implemented in my opinion was to ship V3 with autosave On by default with the option for the user to turn off autosave. That way people who like autosave can just leave it on and people that like the way profiles used to work can turn it OFF.
    On my hands and knees please add an On/Off switch for autosave.

    Happy Holidays to all of my Ham Radio family.

    I agree. Just another reason that I have added to my list and not upgraded.

    I really want to take advantage of some of the new exciting features in V3 but I just cannot have SSDR saving changes on its own, I must have control of what is saved to my profiles after all that seems to be the point of even having profiles in the first place. Unlike a traditional amateur radio a flex radio has way to many settings to keep track of to use a traditional persistence based system.

    This and many other fixes still languishing. Even after the last update there are still big issues with DAX.

    Oh Gary don't get me started on the DAX issues. ARGH!! Ver 251 and up boosts DAX upon changing bands. Workaround is to bring up dax and change the output setting. I do that with nearly every band change.

    Yep, same here (ver 3.1.7), all amp TX checks removed and my mic profile settings are changed too, and I DID NOT change them. This is a REAL pain, and I don't use ANY 3rd party software or digi modes, strictly SSB. Don't really understand why the new autosave profile is removing previous settings..but I can no longer just turn on the radio and go...have to go through the amp and mic profile settings each time to make sure it works. I shouldn't need to import my profiles each time I use the radio...arghhhh.

    Dave, next time it happens try creating and saving a brand new profile. There were some issues with moving profiles from an earlier version of SSDR. Maybe a new profile will solve the issue. Either way, good luck with it.
