It sort of works that way where the meter is selectable in TUN mode. In the TX Profile, you can set what mode you want the TX meter to be in while tuning; off, SWR, fwd pwr or rev pwr.
I set mine to SWR in the TX Profile and just never use the front panel to select any of those three usable meter settings listed above. Matter of fact, I never change the TX meter to anything other than MIC unless I am setting my TX EQ and mic settings. It is a WHOLE lot more important to make sure you are not clipping the mic input rather than seeing what your REF PWR or FWD PWR readings are, IMHO. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: Mike Tatum [mailto:m...@f5vkm.com] Sent: Monday, February 15, 2010 5:38 PM To: Tim Ellison Cc: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Flex3000 No SWR Reading? Hi Tim, Thanks for the explanation, it does indeed work as you describe. It would be more obvious if the SWR selection was only available when in TUN mode rather than being selectable in any mode.
