No TX1 or TX2 or TX3 operation after S/W upgrade

Just upgraded 6600 SmartSDR from v2.1.33 to v3.1.12
(latest version) earlier today. There
were no hardware or configuration changes done at the same time—just the s/w upgrade. Now, TX1 (or TX2 or TX3) will not key the Elecraft 1500 amp in any mode. I pulled the Flex RCA cable plug temporarily from TX1 where the other end goes to the amp, shorted across the RCA plug and the TX lamp on the amp responded as it should by turning red. So, the cable is still OK and the amp is ready to respond. But the Flex is not closing the circuit upon PTT or key down. The Flex is putting out power OK, but the amplifier info monitor window (during Flex transmissions) displays “RF IN, NO KEY IN”. It’s most likely “pilot error” but I haven’t yet been able to determine what needs to be done. Any ideas of things to try?

The upgrade likely did not preserve your radio settings or profile.
Go into the RADIO menu, where you can click boxes to enable
TX1, TX2, TX3, if that is what you wish.
Most of the upgrades have release notes that caution you to export/save
your profiles before upgrade, but it should be easy enough to set what
you wish again.
Cheers,
Neal

These settings are now configured by band. From the menu bar, select Settings ->TX Band Settings. Note that these are TX Profile specific.0

Should have examined ALL columns in that table more carefully! Thanks, Tim.0

I'm betting on Tim...sounds like the fix you're looking for.
