[Elecraft] [KX3] SWR/PWR & CMP/ALC Meter

[Joel Black]

I should have stated this in my initial post. I was specifically looking for how to switch in data modes. Bob cleared that up. However, you are correct, Fred. In SSB *or* SSB +CW, I have to press the CMP button to get the CMP/ALC meter to come up. A tap of the KEYER/MIC knob doesn’t do it - it just switches between CW speed and MIC gain.

Now, I’m glad you brought up SSB -CW and SSB +CW. I knew I had that on my K3 and I thought I had it on my KX3 but I couldn’t remember how to activate it on the KX3. Somehow (again, the memory eludes me), I got SSB +CW working. It’s not that big a deal I don’t guess except when you want to check power out without going, “Hello, test, this is W4JBB.” :)

Thanks and 73,
Joel - W4JBB
