SmartSDR not showing power or SWR from Flex 6300

in SmartSDR for Windows
I have a Flex 6300, I've had it about a month now. As of this morning, SmartSDR is not showing any power output or SWR on key down. I've been using it for a lot of FT8 in the last 2-3 weeks, and it has been working fine. This morning, not so much.

I tried SmartSDR from 2 different windows machines, one running win 10, and the other win 11. On both machines, DAX rx is working fine, smartsdr shows recieved signals as well , but on transmit (or tune), while DAX shows output, Smart SDR shows nothing. As I'm not physically at the station most of the time, I do rely on seeing what is going on with regards to both SWR and power.

I thought I had **** something up on the machine I usually work from, however, my other Windows machine shows the same exact behavior. So, if I did it, at least I'm consistent.


Any ideas what might be going on? Seriously, as of last night, working fine, this morning, nada.


Thanks!

    I wonder if maybe the transmit antenna select (the red characters at the top of the flag) maybe got set to TXVR (transverter) by mistake?

    [just noticed I made the same mistake here and wondered why there was no RF OUT showing :-)]
