Re: [Elecraft] Firmware Update TM Command
The command is useful for displaying the ALC level when you are using the radio remotely with appropriate software that supports it. Win4K3Suite will have this enabled in the next release. 73 Tom Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Re: [Elecraft] Firmware Update TM Command
Bob This is a macro command so does not appear in the config or menu. Take a look at page 27 of the Programmer Ref. You can use the command tester in the Utility to try it out. Just for reference here is the Programmer Manual reference TM (Transmit Meter Mode; GET/SET; K3/K3S only) RSP format: TM0; (SWR/RF metering) or TM1; (CMP/ALC metering). This sets the transmit meter mode for the LCD bargraphs, as well as for the BG command (equivalent to using the METER switch). When TM0 is in effect, BG returns the RF level. When TM1 is in effect, BG returns the ALC level. 73 Dave K5MWR On 4/2/2018 9:05 PM, Bob McGraw K4TAX wrote: Is this feature new or unique to the K3 but has been resident for the K3S?

[Elecraft] Firmware Update TM Command
Is this feature new or unique to the K3 but has been resident for the K3S? If not, I haven't found the TM command in either the Menu or Config of my K3S. 73 Bob, K4TAX K3S S/N 10163 Firmware update K3 MCU 5.62 / DSP 2.88 / FPF 1.26, 11-16-2017 * NEW CONTROL COMMAND (TM): The TM command sets or reads the transmit metering mode on the LCD. TM0; sets the bar graph for SWR/RF, while TM1; sets the bar graph for CMP/ALC. The TX metering mode also determines what is read by the BG (bar graph read) command during transmit. With TM0 in effect, BG reads the power level.
