You can hook up WSJT-X to FLRig -- just select the "FLRig" entry in WSJT-X.
And FLRig will show you SWR if your rig supports it.

Thanks for the quick reply, Bill. Do you (or any others on the list) have any
recommendations for implementing this "below" wsjtx? In my current setup,
wsjtx seems to "lock" the serial device so that other apps (e.g., flrig) cannot
access it. It makes sense, but I remember reading about people experimenting
with virtual serial devices and such that allow multiple applications to share
the rig. This seems a bit fraught with potential issues (e.g., two masters
with conflicting commands) but could allow simple things like
reading/displaying status information.

Hi Mike,
this is out of scope, the CAT control in WSJT-X works at a level of a basic
virtual rig, reading the SWR is not available for many rigs and even where it
is, it is not available via every CAT mechanism WSJT-X supports. Basically if
it can't be done for all we are not going to support it unless it is a
must-have feature for WSJT-X operation.
