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. Original message From: Bob McGraw K4TAX

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

I use my K2-10 on digital modes. Haven't tried it with FT8 but it's fine with JT65, WSPR, RTTY. I installed the N0SS fixed audio output mod (http://www.farcircuits.net/w3fpr_K2%20audio%20Fix.pdf), didn't have the circuit board so used solderable perfboard. 73, Dennis NJ6G On 4/1/2018 23:46,

Carl I have not experienced any of this type problem.  I have my CONFIG:PWR SET to PER BAND  so that the K3s switches power levels depending on if the KPA1500 is OP/STNBY. Since you are saying this depends on your output power then would first look for RF feedback issues.  Are you using the
