In addition to the SWR bargraph, which is available at all times when
transmitting, the SWR is shown numerically on the VFO A display during
TUNE (up to 99.9:1). Power in watts is shown on the VFO B display.
The only time SWR is not shown during TUNE is when you're using the
0-dBm transverter I/O (on the KXV3 module). In this case, we assume
that the device you're driving (a transverter) has low enough SWR. The
VFO A display shows the power level in dBm, and VFO B shows the power
in milliwatts (with .01 mW resolution). The transverter's power output
detector can be calibrated using a menu entry, as can the RF detector
in the main RF path.

I note several comments in the FAQ about how the K3 "monitors the SWR"
for various operating functions, but I do not see anything about the
SWR being displayed for the user.
In Tx, the S meter bargraph breaks into two bargraphs: SWR and RF
output. In SSB, it can optionally display ALC and compression.
