[KX2] Cannot turn off switch cw tones

I was playing with the new features in 2.81 and enabled the tones by
holding down APF (plus Rate and A/B) at start-up. All works great, the
double tap on PTT gives the freq. etc. However, having established that it
works, I'm now stuck in the mode. I can go into Setup and turn SW tones to
off but when I turn the KX2 off and then on again, the SW tones is now set
back to 20!

I have read everything I can find, but I cannot see how to get out of this
so that I have no tones of any description.

Any advice gratefully received!

Thanks and 73, Stephen G4SJP

Stephen,

I do not see anything definitive saying how to turn it off, but on the
assumption that it might be a toggle, hold down APF, Rate, and A/B while
powering on again. If it turns off, that is good, but if it is still
present, you will have to wait until Wayne can tell us how to turn it
off (hopefully it is not EEINIT).

73,

Stephen,

That sounds like a bug that I didn’t catch. I’ll get on it right away. Meanwhile, you might try powering up in SSB mode, then changing the SW setting, then turning power off. Let me know if this works.

Thanks,
Wayne
