KX2 "SWR/RF" display in v2.89

[Steve Sergeant]

I just upgraded my KX2 to v2.89 firmware, and discovered that I can no
longer get the "SWR/RF" scales to display when I transmit in any mode.
Perhaps I missed a release note that described this change, but I seemed
to remember that these scales were the default, and that the CMP/ALC
displays only appeared when setting transmit gain.

What am I missing, or have I found a bug?

You have to be in a mode other than CW, then tap the KYR-SP/MIC knob to
switch between CMP/ALC and SWR/RF.  Enjoy!

Brian:

That's the first thing I tried.

While in USB/LSB or AM, tapping the KYR-SPOT/MIC knob toggles between
"13 WPM" and "MIC 30" on the VFO B display, but does not change the
meter to SWR/RF.

The next clue is that I do see the SWR/RF meter when in CW mode, but not
in USB/LSB nor in AM. When I tap the KYR-SPOT/MIC knob in CW mode, the
VFO B display shows "SPOT" and a tone is heard through the speaker.

Key the transmitter and then adjust Mic Gain …

This has happened to me often enough that I should have learned to read
my manuals cover-to-cover, which I never do: A feature I had no use for
became inadvertently activated, and sabotaged my normal operating modes.

In this case, it was the CW-in-SSB feature, which apparently deactivates
the RF/SWR meter in SSB mode. It's described on page 45 of the most
recent manual.
