CW TX causes variour problems

SmartSDR v2
Radio Flex 6300
AMP SPE 1.3k USB connected
OS Windows 10
While TX'ing in CW with or without amp I have had two weird things occur
1. Radio Locks up in TX up with CW Tone (Hard Reboot long press of power Fixed issue)
2. Radio looses RX completely in both local and with Remote (Soft Reboot Fixed issue)
Both have reoccurred multiple times. I have never seen this since I do not do CW. had a friend over and he was banging away on the paddle when occurred.

Ria
was able to reproduce it as well
NOTE: if you change modes in smartsdr while in tx it works just fine, "but not sure why you would want to change modes while in tx.
Not a flex issue for sure
sorry for wasting our hobby time
I had similar problems with 6300. I discovered that cleaning the contacts on my Vibroplex made the problem go away. Something in the 6300 did not like a bit of resistance on CW. It also was completely repeatable.
