Front panel LED switches from green(RCV) to Red (xmit) for only an instant on xmit. Should'nt it stay red during the entire xmit cycle?

According to the manual, this is correct.

I should have said in CW it does not stay on while sending. it will blink once when you start and they just stay green. in ssb it stays red the whole time while xmitting. I ust have something incorrect or misunderstand

OK! I think I found the problem! I moved the delay down to zero and when I transmit in cw it stays red! If I move the slider up for delay, then it will just blink red and then stay green while I'm transmitting. Maybe I just did not notice it before.

May want to do a factory default reset on the radio, and/or shutdown with removal of power for a few minutes. Both can help clear a lot of odd states.

We have been working on the LED illumination code for v1.4, so this particular issue may be fixed in the upcoming release.
