Title: TX Time Out on Yaesu FT-70DR
Post by: K1KIM on November 28, 2022, 08:39:30 AM
Of all the 64 menu selections on the above HT I can't seem to find the TX Time Out menu function. It seems I am dropping out after about 10 seconds.

Can anyone point me to the correct location?

See customized menu settings. It’s there.

I have read that several times and am still drawing a blank as to which item # it is.

Care to clarify?

10 Seconds sounds more like a low battery or high VSWR issue.  Do you still have the same issue when using low power into a known good dummy load?

I thought that was it, but I only looked at the quick guide of the menu and not the full description on page 41. TOT was not very descriptive on the quick guide.

Thanks for the info.
