The BG command does indeed truncate to S9 when CWT is selected. SM does not. I chose BG because it reports during TX. I'll be switching to SM because the BG data currently being reported during transmit is either SWR or CMP, depending on the RF/ALC selection; although the programmer's reference says it reports RF or ALC levels.. This may change.
