[Elecraft] W2 bug

2010-12-11 Thread f9oj
My W2 wattmeter refuses to display power and swr values...only the S1 and S2 
led fliker altenatively, and the auto led on the range line is continuously
lit up !
Nothing can change this abnormal set up.
So far, it had been working normally, as well as the PC extension. 
Has anyone any idea ?
Thanks for any info !

Jacques,

Is it possible that you have accidentally put the W2 into the auto-sensor
mode that monitors BOTH S1 and S2?  That is one reason the S1/S2 lights
blink alternately.  I use my W2 in an SO2R station and I prefer it this way
but if you are using a single sensor, it will not give you the result you
want.  Also, I had a lightning strike at my station and saw VERY sporadic
readings from the W2 before I replaced the sensors.  Once I replaced the
sensors and the W2, everything worked as expected.  Is it possible you had a
lightning surge?

Good luck figuring it out.  Mine is working very well and I am happy with
it.

A+

Bob K5WA
