How to enable keying ?

in Maestro
I am a bit puzzled with Maestro C right now .The problem is that I am not able to get keyer to transmit.

1. I plugged the paddle into Maestro C paddleh port
2. Changed mode to CW
3. I checked that slice A has TX activated
3. tried the paddles - I can hear the sidetone but NO TX

Have gone through all the menus (i think) but still not able to enable transmit on cw. Phone works ok.

What am I doing wrong ?

    Do you have Breakin enabled?

    At the top of the flag, do you have a red square with white "TX" visible? You must have this in order to transmit - it means that TX (transmit) is enabled for the slice you're using. I have - somehow - managed to turn my TX off and spent a few moments having to look over and figure out why 😚

    Rebooted the Flex then works again. Doesn't promise good for my future with this radio though... Can't be booting the unit during the contests :neutral:

    It sounds like rebooting cleared a setting. We always want to learn why it wasn't working, so if it happens again, post a screen shot and we will see if there was a setting that was missed.

    The 2 main reason are that BreakIn was off and there was no transmit focus.
