Tim:

I had the same problem at first.

1.  Menu 80 should show 201.
2.  Apply a steady CW carrier.
3.  Press meter key. (You should hear Power reading, I.E. P100.)

Now:
1.  Set menu 80 to 202.
2.  Apply a steady CW carrier.
3.  Press meter key.  (You should hear one of two readings.)

1.  "R1.0" or whatever the SWR may be.
2.  "A10" or whatever the A L C reading may be.
3.  If R or A is not what you want, press the key next to the meter key to 
change it.

I hope this helps.

Hi all,

I've recently acquired a ts590, and not having fully read the user manual
yet, was wondering could someone provide some instructions in getting the
VGS1 to announce power, swr etc.

When I press the meter button while applying a carrier nothing is spoken.

Thanks in advance.

Best 73,
