Frank,

Sorry but you have it backwards.  The TS-2000 does not read the SWR. 
What you are hearing is the s-meter:  signal strength of s1, s2, etc. 
If the signal is loud enough, it will say 10 db or 20 db.

You would measure SWR while in transmit.  The 590 has this function, but 
the 2000 does not.

If you don't have any sort of talking swr meter,  I think you can access 
this function from JJ Radio by  KE5AL from this list.

73, Steve KW3A
