Description

As reported on mail-list:

In the memory tab, I set "Duplex" to "off", as the logical choice among "+", "-", "split", and "off". But when I tried to transmit after loading that channel into my radio, it would not transmit (no RF, display color didn't change).

So I went in, looked hard at the settings, and discovered there was another option lurking in plain sight - " " (blank).

When I selected (blank) and loaded the radio with the modified channel, it worked fine (TX as expected, in simplex).

If I look at the (actually pretty good) GT-5R manual that shipped with the radio, it says I have three choices for that field, menu item 25, SFT-D:

"OFF [0]" TX = RX (simplex)
"+ [1]" TX higher than RX freq
"- [2]" TX lower than RX freq

There's no mention of "split" or "off".

In short, the only valid options appear to be "-", "+", and "off", which I guess could be set to " " (blanks).

** I searched open issues, did not see this issue for this model radio.

Thanks, Ken
