Steve, thanks. This is what I found for the TS2000 in the JJRadio documentation: The TS2000 Meter fields For the TS-2000, the SWR, Comp, and ALC fields behave differently from other fields. The TS-2000 reports metered values depending upon which meter scale is selected. Thus you must either enter the field for the meter you wish to view, or mouse-click that field. Only one meter can be reported at a time.

If you want to get into the hundreds of dollars range, the Array Solutions Power Master will work in conjunction with a screen reader on the PC, or with a Hampod. The Wavenode WN-2 has some self voicing, or can be read with a screen reader. If I remember right, Jim KE5AL was able to access the SWR info from the Kenwood rigs in his JJ Radio software.
