When the USB-K5G cable is connected between the radio and the computer and the programmer opens the port with Communications | Get data from Radio or Communications | Send data to radio, the radio will transmit continuously if it is in Echolink mode.
It is so easy to accidentally put the radio into Echolink mode. To put the radio in Echolink mode, press and hold the PF2 key while turning on the radio. You will know it is on by the symbol at the lower right of the display.
To Exit Echolink mode, press and hold the PF2 key while turning on the radio.
