I'm a beta tester and have griped about it so they are aware of it.
However they have come to realize firsthand how much WORK a business
(95% customer complaint management) can be and have (lately)
concentrated their (meager) programming efforts in other areas to
provide more for the bulk of people using the software. The only real
rig control work they've done of late was to add the 7300 into the list
(and will add the spectrum scope 'someday', yes I 'prodded' and the
sales rate was an indicator too).
So don't hold your breath until they can get more programming staff
(open hiring). It's also a challenge because there is already a fair
amount of traffic on the serial line (and hams tend to use older, slower
[cheap] computers) so real time metering display presents other
challenges in timing and data flow as well.
Having said that, I've looked at other software packages and find them
missing major elements/requirements (logging for one) or they're simply
a collection of parts stuck together that needs a tech to keep running
since they were never designed to work as a suite; they work but don't
fit together well, consistently or smoothly. While HRD is lacking
refinements, it's simple to keep running, works well with it's elements
and other software can interface with it readily (via tcp/ip, which
other software packages don't manage at all).

In the HRD Rig Control application, try Customize -> Meters. However, if
the K3S doesn't support displaying the meter externally, HRD can't display
It. I tried on my K3 s/n 281 and, despite selecting the options for ALC and
PWR, they weren't displayed, which leads me to believe the K3/S doesn't
support that particular capability. Perhaps someone more intimately
familiar with the firmware can chime in and provide more detail.

Does anyone know how to get HRD to show the ALC and Power meters when
transmitting for the K3S?
