Here is a trick for those of us who have not yet updated the firmware
in the TS590S so that the status of the drive setting is spoken.
Some may already know this, but I did not until I turned my drive
setting on deliberately yesterday to see if I could duplicate Ron's
issue with his tuner.
With the driver switched to on, the tuner in my 590S simply sends the
low beep that you would hear if you pressed the tune button and the
antenna was already matched.
It does this regardless of whether or not there is a match. I confirmed
that by trying it with antenna and band configurations where I would
normally get the SWR message.
So, if Ron is getting the SWR message even when feeding the radio into
a dummy load, it may be time for a trip to the radio hospital.
