Knowing these little nuggets of information should allow you to search for various items for these radios, all being similar or exactly the same such as menu settings and even service diagrams.
So how do I know this will work?
Well, I'm pretty confident....you tell me if it worked....then you've confirmed it and hopefully a little snippet of knowledge can be passed onto others

Hi can anyone tell me is there a way of adjusting the hi swr warning from 1.5 to 2.0 as everytime I go onto SSB and start talking my hi-swr warning kicks in and it,s fine on alphamic and frueq modulation. I know that it can be turned off but can I adjust without turning it off , cheers and beers .

As you mention you can turn the SWR HI function off but there seems no other setting that either the manual or even USB programming software mentions. So who knows? Maybe not? Perhaps it's a permanent firmware setting.
When posting a query on the forum it would be handy if you could post a new topic with your question rather than tag onto someone elses question. I know, seems a pain, but if anyone searches the topics in future for possible help it'd be easier to find it than them sifting through every CRT6900 posting. Just helps people in the future
(I only realised your question as I had a topic notification email as I've already posted/answered to the original posting).
Anyway, sorry I couldn't help further. At first hand it looks like it's not possible. If you find different info let us know on Charlie Tango as it may be handy for others.
All the best, Victor

The only thing I did find is that a lot of people have had problems with the 'S HI' especially using Sideband. This is really down to poor design as we don't tend to measure SWR unless we have a constant carrier such as AM or FM modes. In reality this auto function should be disabled when using Sideband.
I found that people work around this problem by turning the SWR warning off and using a regular SWR meter to routinely check their antenna and connections. Should get rid of that headache!
In reality with it's MOSFET output stage that radio shouldn't suffer unless the SWR is over 10 or even 20 to 1. You've got bigger problems if your antenna is that badly out!
