IC 718 Meter Options

[K3LUE]

I have been trying to set up the radio part of HRD to show me the power, alc, and swr. Haven't been too successful so far. I cannot get it off the S meter setting. I see in the help that buttons you want need to be displayed in the upper right hand. I have set up buttons for the functions I want but that doesn't seem to be the answer. Any help is appreciated.

As far as I know the only meter reading you can bring up within HRD is the S Meter.

I ran an IC-718 for a year and a half using HRD and never noticed settings for the SWR or ALC meter on the main screen.

I was afraid of that.

Not having the option of seeing the output, SWR or ALC meter off the 718 on HRD never bothered me.

I use an outboard SWR/Power meter to monitor that and never worry about my ALC as I know I am not over driving the rig with too much audio.

I'm operating some remote with the software and the 718 and would like to see what those readings are from afar. At home, it's no problem to switch the meter to another function but it would be of some advantage to do that remotely.
Thanks for your comments.

Looking at the Command Table in the manual (the LAST place to look ),
I could not find a reference to power, alc, and/or swr.
From that I have to assume that they are not available.

Thanks for your efforts Chuck. Looks like I'm dead in the water as far as this issue. No worries. We'll just set everything before I leave.
