No longer shows SWR/RF, Keyer/Mic does not help

Still can not get SWR/RF meter to display. Stuck on CMP ALC

YouTube video is exactly what I have attempted my toggle between mic and
cq speed looks a little different than video.

Any menu setting that might have gotten switched?

Press (not press-hold) CMP. The will change the display between SWR/RF and CMP/ALC. You must be in SSB (or AM) mode, not CW, FM, or DATA.

Se the manual, on page 15.

If menu > CW Weight > tap 1 for CW - SSB indicated , will then restore
the CMP/ALC <> SWR/RF toggle as shown on video. I option 1 is CW + SSB
(allowing sw in ssb) then No ALC view is availableand if you are getting
a cw speed / mic gain toggle, this seems to be your position, and meter
should show SWR/RF view only. What is your option 1 (tap 1) under CW
Weight menu ?

Actually you can be in "Data A" or "AFSK" but not in the internally
generated data modes. Data A is basically USB with no audio processing and
AFSK is the same but LSB. So check your data mode if you are in data. ALC
is not needed for the other 2 settings because they are generated
internally to the KX3.

Re: No longer shows SWR/RF, Keyer/Mic does not help

ALC indication in externally modulated data mode is essential to setting
the mic gain

to a 4 bar > 5th bar flashing alc level for best data comms.
