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

[David Anderson via Elecraft]

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.

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

[Don Wilhelm]

Joel,

Yes, go to CW mode and you will see it.
Look at the text box at the top left of the display illustration on page 
8 of the manual.  For voice and data modes, it shows CMP/ALC.

I thought there was some way to easily swap between CMP/ALC and SWR/PWR on the 
KX3. Is my rememberer that bad?

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

[Joel Black]

I should have stated this in my initial post. I was specifically looking for 
how to switch in data modes. Bob cleared that up. However, you are correct, 
Fred. 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.

Now, I’m glad you brought up SSB -CW and SSB +CW. I knew I had that on my K3 
and I thought I had it on my KX3 but I couldn’t remember how to activate it on 
the KX3. 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.” :)

Thanks and 73,
Joel - W4JBB

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

[Cady, Fred]

That display seems to act differently depending on if you have SSB -CW or SSB 
+CW.

Don't have a KX3, but on my K3, it's a HOLD of the DISP/METER button.
