Trouble with SSB , must go to CW and back to SSB for SSB to work

Flex 6600 dos not transmit in SSB mode until I change to CW , tape the paddle and then change back to SSB ... Now I can use SSB .! The same when using WSJT-X FT8 , I must switch from DIGIU to CW , TX a tone using the paddle and change back to DIGIU .... now WSJT-X will work ..! This started after installing the latest Flex update V2.4.9 . I've only had the 6600 for 3 months but my guess is the DAX ?? One other thing , if I have 2 slices open and change from the SSB that I have working to the second slice then back to SSB , I have to do the above change from SSB to CW , TX and back to SSB to TX in SSB again .... Any Ideas ?
Thanks Ed

I occasionally have that happen on CW and have to go to SSB and then back to CW. Been that way for a year or more.

Maybe you're not logged into SmartLink - which requires a tap on the cw key or ptt on a mic. If not, re-register, then log into Smartlink. This is just a guess
