Hi Richard, The issue with your request is that there is only **one** line of display "dots" on the display. The single line of dots is interpreted with the upper graticule in RX, and with the two lower graticules on TX.
For what you want, there would need to be two rows of dots driven independently. Or there would need to be a front panel button to switch the meaning of the single row of dots. Ah, but we already have the button. Also, the change would require *both* firmware *and* changing out the display to create the **two** lines of dots on the display. Note that the graticules do not change. The display is not driven pixels like a smartphone display. Therefore it could not just be a new CONFIG: option in firmware. The request would almost certainly need to be implemented with a new transceiver. As it is, on voice if CMP and ALC is properly set, on a K3/K3S the power out is very predictable for a given PWR setting, more so for a K3/K3S than most. In any event, TX SSB with an amp, various stand-alone power meters deal more substantially with power out aspects. 73, Guy K2AV On Sat, Jan 7, 2017 at 10:52 AM, RichardG3ZIY <[email protected]> wrote: > It occurred to me that on transmit the S meter is somewhat redundant.
