TS480 not transmitting on CW
« on: 2025-08-09, 16:53:12 »
Hello
Until yesterday, my TS480 had been working flawlessly for years with my pair of RRC1258. Today, when I switched on the equipment and tried to transmit on CW, it wouldn't transmit, although it did on SSB. When I´m keying the paddle (or stright key), I hear the control RRC' sidetone as always, but the TS480 remains in reception and didn't transmit. I certainly hadn't made any changes to the configuration. Any hint what the problem could be and how to fix it? Thank you very much in advance.

After carefully checking all the parameters on the side Radio and Control I found out that the OUT2 output of the RRC Radio had unexpectedly changed from “Keyer” to “ON/OFF”, so the  RRC  Radio  was not keying the TS480. The problem is fixed but remains the question why happened this without any intervention.
