[bars] Back on the air

[ARTHUR PIZER]

I will reply to this as it appears I am once again receiving the list.  Glad you figured that out Juan. But it depends on the rig. On my yaesu ft1000 the squelch does function in am/ssb mode.  And I have a 1973 vintage ftdx401 where the ssb mic gain is also the Cw carrier power adjustment.

CW works amazingly well. FM doesn't work, the board for it is an add-on and is not installed. In fact, it has no options installed. I was a bit surprised to see the CW option has to be soldered onto the main board. Backlight on the meter is also not working. I was heard once on FT8 but today is a nasty day for propagation. Solar activity on DXHeat is off the meter. The RF and noise attenuation work VERY well, better than on my 840.
