Could it be as simple as a typo. Did you compare file dates?

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] W1 versus WM1

The document that I found on the Elecraft Web site was IDENTICAL to the 
document for the current W1.  Except, it was called WM1.  Not only that, the 
contents of the two documents were as close to identical as my brief read 
through could determine.  And, not only that (ditto) but the photograph of the 
WM1 PCB and parts layout was IDENTICAL to the W1 PCB and parts layout with the 
exception of the label that said WM1.

So, this is definitely an Elecraft product.  Not some Autek Research thing nor 
some older Oak Hills WM-1 unless Elecraft totally renamed it and put their name 
on the PCB board!

I am guessing that the item was renamed from WM1 to W1 and maybe because there 
was discovered a name conflict with this Autek or Oak Hills product.
