If you unplug the phono cable from the Flex and short the tip to sleeve, does the amp key? Are you using DDUtil and AutoDrive by chance? Dave wo2x

I would also recommend opening a Help Desk ticket to get that process started. Dave wo2x

You need to turn off  cat/aux in the 600s - that should get you going.  This is available through the 600S menu.  The manual should be helpful here.

Well, I tried to help and got  myself in trouble instead.
As I said earlier you need to have cat/aux turned off for the 600s to automatically change bands.
The problem is that I tried to demonstrate this and in the process I managed to turn it back on and can't for the life of me can't remember how turn the cat/aux off in the 600S menu.
HELP!!!

I am in the menu - cat/aux settings rx only
the line below that is interface     off      rs232    rs232   ttl
When I exit out the band bar and below that cat error, and cat aux control is green.

It was working perfectly this morning.  I am doing something **** but I can't figure it out
