This must be a MK1 with the 1969 outputs. Normal its the MK2 with this feature. its just shows audio on TX.

There is a version where the LCD meter does move on TX and RX. I think it's the version that has a PA facility instead of CW.

On the Delta Force I own the LCD meter moves in TX mode only as a modulation meter.
Never, ever, ever....bloody anything ever!

Far too many radio's to list here. But I do own a legal one...

Thanks for all your interest,I think it is as Astradyne says this version is Tx only,I must have seen something the bar graph on rx wasn’t working.Not t worry it’s a mint boxed radio so it’s ok as it is.Thanks again Mark
