Hi Barb,

Menu 79 is PF key 1 which is to the left of the power button.  If it is set 
to 201, it will read the frequency on both receive and transmit.  If it is 
set to 200, it will read the s meter on receive and power output on 
transmit.

PF key 2 is above buttons 2 and 3.  I have mine set to 202 which will read 
either A L C or swr on transmit.  202 doesn't read anything on receive.  The 
button to the left of pf2 changes between swr and A L C when your on 
transmit.

If you have a mike with PF keys on them, menu 81 through 84 can set those 
fumctions.

I don't recall what they are called, and I don't even remember the menu
numbers, but I have one set for frequency readout and the other for alc
