Should I be able to measure FWD/RFL power using Hermes with Alex and 
PowerSDR (v. 2.2.3)?

With a straight key connected to Hermes I hear sidetone and relays 
clicks in Alex when the key is closed, but see no indication of FWD or 
RFL power on the PowerSDR presentation.    I have tried with Alex ANT 1 
connected to my antenna and also to a 50 Ohm dummy load.  Hermes TXout 
(J3) is connected to Alex 'From TX'.

If I run the Wizzard, the Alex relays seem to click randomly in receive 
and I have to stop Hermes in PowerSDR to stop the clicking relays.

Hermes firmware was updated earlier this week.
