In CW mode using v. 2.0.17.96, if I key MOX to transmit, the antenna relay switches & signals in the scope disappear as expected but the underlying radio noise remains unmuted. This happens whether in Break-In mode or not.
Is this normal? It's very distracting.
Please try this with 2.0 yourself. I know of one other 6x00 that does the same thing. I don't remember 1.9.13 operating this way but I don't want to downgrade the software just to verify that version's operation.
My radio is a 6300. I'm using two different client computers, both running Windows 10 and a Maestro. All three do the same thing.
Thanks for any insight on this.

This problem was introduced with version 1.10.16 and has continued to the present release of version 2.4.9. I been told that it is on the bug list. I find it very frustrating that the 6000 series radios can't perform the basic function of turning off the receiver when the MOX button is activated. Since I work CW, I abandoned using my 6500 on CW and returned to using my Kenwood TS-2000.
I keep expecting a fix since since it showed up in 1.10.16 but am now question the value of keeping the 6000 series radios. I should have kept the 5000.

I totally understand your frustration, I cannot believe this bug is so low in priority and that more Flex owners aren’t complaining. I am sick of testing new releases only to find this bug repeated in every one. I am also considering returning to my K3 for cw contesting, but the Flex it’s a lot of investment just to be used for the occasional rag chew. Hopefully someone at Flex will realise that not having a fully functioning PTT in cw mode is a major bug and fix it before the contesting community give up on it.
