K3 - No power / SWR metering

[Nick Kennedy]

Is this an operator error, or what?

This evening I don't get any SWR or watts metering on my K3, just CMP
and ALC, like I was on SSB.  I'm fairly sure that earlier in the evening
I did have the expected SWR and power indications.  When I transmit, I
get 6 bars of "ALC" and no bars of SWR, regardless of power level.  S
meter works, CWT on/off works.

Here's what I tried -

Cycled through all modes.  Recalled memories.  A/B switch (I don't have
the sub receiver).  Power off and back on.  Re-loaded firmware (2.80).

Is there a configuration item I might have wrong?

Thanks,

Nick, WA5BDU

HOLD the METER button (long press of DISPLAY) to toggle between the
ALC/CMP and SWR/PWR displays.

Ah, better to be a knucklehead than to have a hardware problem.  Guess
I'll keep my hands in my pockets and fingers off the buttons for a while.

Now, could you help me with my VCR ...
