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

[David Anderson]

This happens when SSB + CW is enabled.  In CW WGHT menu tap 1 to toggle between SSB+CW (enabled) and SSB -  CW

Tapping Keyer/Mic knob toggles between Keyer speed and Mic Gain rather than Meter Scales  CMP/ALC and SWR/RF. The CMP/ALC scale is still shown temporarily when CMP or Mic Gain are adjusted.

You can switch to DATA mode then change meter scales by tapping Keyer/mic knob then go back to SSB.

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.

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.” :)
