Steve, thanks for setting me straight. I didn't know there was such a beast as a talking SWR meter. I do have JJ Radio installed. I will check the documentation to see if this is possible.
Thanks
Frank

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.
