Dick, That is true, but they are often confused - furthermore with any resolution on a display like a bargraph, it is helpful to know to know if the LED illuminates just after the indicated power is reached or at some midpoint value. I don't know, but I suspect that Elecraft has chosen to trigger the LED illuminating at the low edge of reaching that power. So on a 200 watt scale with 10 watt resolution, the 80 watt LED would be illuminated starting at 80 watts and the next LED would not light until the power reached 100 watts - If the comparison meter is only off by a watt or two, but is reading a bit high, then yes, the comparison meter could read 100 watts with the W2 LED showing only 80 watts - for this example, bumping the power up a couple watts would have the W2 reading 100 watts and the comparison meter reading 102 watts - so it may *look* like the accuracy is bad when in fact it can be really good agreement - it all depends on knowing how to read the meters properly.
