Hi Jim
Just set "6.1 Beacon" to "ON". This means the QCX will
power up in beacon mode, and start operating as a beacon in
whatever mode you configured (CW or WSPR), with the
parameters you configured it to operate with. GPS frequency
discipline is done automatically at the end of a WSPR
transmission. Or manually in menu item "8.11 Cal ref.
osc".????
There is not a way to have automatic GPS discipline
operating from startup without using WSPR beacon mode. But
if you want, you could always set "4.7 Practice" in the
keyer menu to "ON", which would cause the QCX to look like
it is transmitting a beacon message but it is really doing
everything EXCEPT generating the actual RF output.????

Hans,
Thanks for the info!?? I'll go try it now and report back later.

Hans and group,
Yep, the above worked a treat.? Put the rig in Beacon mode and Keyer
to Practice and let it rip.? Now the crystal frequencies are known
and compensated.? Thanks for the help!
PS...I'm working on the "Big Click" problem.? I need to know which
line from the CPU is Tx so I can look at the Rx - Tx timing.? I
think the shunt audio switch needs to be a series switch in line
with the audio, or maybe one of each like I used in the MagicBox
design.? Will keep you posted.

Jim, K8IQY
PSS,? Hans, are you game to try some other Rx-Tx timings in the
firmware?
