The rig is NOT putting out a CTCSS tone on 70 cm. I used a VX6R to test this (thanks Paul S for the suggestion). I can confirm a tone is being transmitted on 2 meters, because it breaks the squelch on the VX6R. When I transmit on 70 cm, the squelch is not broken on the VX6R.

Anyone else using an FT817ND that I can email with, offboard, regarding setup? I am not able to hear my downlink on AO-85 or SO-50 with the 67 Hz tone enabled. I must be doing something wrong.
