[Elecraft] Programatically determining K3 bar meter status

2009-02-26 Thread Don - K2PMC

I am trying to programatically determine the status of the bar meter in
transmit mode.  Maybe I am thick but I have not yet found a way to determine
whether the meter is in SWR/RF mode or CMP/ALC mode.  Additionally, when the
meter is in SWR/RF mode and a BG; command is issued, the bar value returned
is the SWR bar value.  The same thing occurs when the meter is in CMP/ALC
mode.  The value returned is the CMP bar value.  I haven't yet figured out
how to access the RF or ALC bar value.

Hi Don,

I'll be improving all this in a future firmware release. I've got your 
call noted on the task item, and I'll let you know when it's ready to 
test.
