About what should the 1500 fwd pwr meter read when in SSB, with no compression turned on. I read about 4 or 5% maximum, when the mic meter reads 0dB max and ALC reads no more than 0 dB..

    The 1500 output TX Metering is not actual RF output, and is a reflection of the SW drive setting and may not be clocked fast enough. At the voice peaks at "0" dbm, then you are hitting your PEP output percentage in the "Drive" slider.. If you click TUNe button and select "Mic" or "ALC" in the TX Meter, you will see "0" dbm, the output at that Drive setting is your PEP output power, kind of a reference tone.. Maybe that makes sense.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
