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.
