M1 -M4 reports NO DVR for data mode on 30 and 17 meters only

[mike]

Strange. I only noticed it chasing a Centennial RTTY station on 30m, then found the same problem with 12m. Only effects these two bands. I press M1 (or M2, M3, M4) and the display shows 'NO DVR'. What is going on?
Thanks for your help, 73 ..mike AI6II

You may be in SPLIT mode on these bands, with VFO B set for a DVR-compatible mode.

No, not running split.

Ah ha! I figured it out. NR4C sent an email asking me about which DATA Mode I was using. I found that 30 and 17 meters were setup for AFSK rather than FSK as I use on the other bands (my paddle speed and accuracy is much better than using a keyboard!)

So that solves it. And I guess I also learned that if I were to want to use a different mode like AFSK or DATA, I would need the DVR module for the memories. Nice. Always good to learn something more about this fantastic rig.

Thanks, Wayne and Bill for your help. 73  ..mike  AI6II

I probably should have mentioned in the orignal post that I do NOT have the DVR module installed.  ..mike AI6II
