    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

    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!!!
