For a station running a 8400M, a Power Genius and a Tuner Genius operated by a Windows 11 computer using SmartSDR, what is the correct power down sequence?

    There is no required sequence. You can turn them off in any order you wish.

    Turning off the PGXL or the TGXL at anytime just removes it as being part of the radio system. If you move your PGXL into Standby, then the radio knows you can't use it.

    Thanks Mike! The reason I asked was because the PG seems to lose connection to the radio randomly and reverts to RF sense mode. This has happened twice and was only noticed after powering up the radio and trying to have a QSO at much reduced power. I was thinking that the last time the station was powered down that if the sequence wasn't right and the radio powered down before the PG that might be when it randomly loses connection. Any thoughts?

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
