In CQ/X (www.no5w.com) checking of the SWR is done using the following. Set up the SWR read
//Read/save Current Power Setting TheRadio->SavePreTunePower(); //Read/save ATU Status TheRadio->SavePreTuneAtuStatus(); //Put ATU in Bypass mode TheRadio->PutAtuInBypassMode(); //Reduce Power Output to desired tuning power and Transmit TheRadio->XmitTuneWatts(); //set up and enable timer to run for a desired number of seconds of Tune Time StartTimeOfTune = Now(); TuneTime = TheRadio->GetTuneTimeAsAbsTime(); tmTune->Enabled = true; Do the read using the DS command to read the VFOA text and then interpret text Finally restore the output power and ATU status to their previous values.
