KX3 display question

Mel
I am not sure when I noticed it, but while the manual indicates that the display can show power output and SWR, it does so only on tune.  During Tx it shows CMP and ALC.  Is there a toggle to see Tx power and SWR when transmitting?  I could not find anything in the manual.  Thanks.

IIRC, just tapping the PWR control will change the display between CMP/ALC
and SWR/RF.

Saying something doesn't make it true.  Belief in something doesn't make it
real. And if you have to lie to support a position, that position is not
worth supporting.

Ive pushed the power button all day long and my meter does not change unless I change the mic setting.  Then it reverts right back to swr and rf output when I transmit. I would like to see comp and alc when I transmit. I have read the book.

In voice and data modes (but not in CW mode) tapping "KEYER/MIC" toggles
the meter between SWR/RF and CMP/ALC modes.
