Power Genius PO level not showing in Smart SDR GUI

6600M v 3.19 The power out meter for the Power Genius just moves a very little on the Smart SDR window.  I had major help today from Dave WO2X and he suggested that I put this on the forum.  The power out looks correct on the Power Genius XL Utility and on my external meters but not on Smart SDR or on the front of the 6600M.  Any suggestions?  Comments?
Thanks, 
Jeff N3VE

    Hi Dan I was helping Jeff. Actually the utility isn’t quite showing accurate PEP readings. He was set for 1 KW out and utility would show just over 500 watts. The SmartSDR for Windows GUI and Maestro both showed just under 100 watts on the PG XL meter in both SSDR and Maestro. He could not do a steady tune due to major RFI he is causing in the shack (that’s a story for another day). Radio ver 3.0.19 Amp 3.12 73 Dave De **** wo2x

    Dave, I plugged in a key and in cw mode the SSDR GUI worked fine.

    Hi Burch there is a newer version of firmware for the PG-XL 3.2.4 that is in test. Ask Tim about it. He told me that as soon as it is tested it will be released. I have not had to reboot everything just reload the firmware to the PG-XL.

    Ray, did this fix the issue with the PO not showing is SSDR?  It has only happened to me twice and hasn't happening lately, although I haven't used the amp much lately.
