The wattmeter should be connected between the KPA500 and the KAT500 if you want to read a low SWR. The SWR that is seen by the KPA500 is the only thing that matters, and that would normally be 1.5 or less. Your connection (between the tuner and the antenna) will not change the SWR reading

[Elecraft] W2 - Possible Addition to Station

is the Elecraft W2. I'm not a big fan of a string of LED's for measurement of anything, as it simply does not give the resolution one would like to have. I dealt with that when I had the Elecraft KPA500 last year. Nice to look at, but not overly big on resolution. What I DO like about the W2

Re: [Elecraft] W2 - Possible Addition to Station

OK - looks like maybe I jumped the gun, so to speak. I just went back into the archives and found several discussions on the W2; it appears that no one is ready to head off to the Elecraft HQ with pitchforks and burning torches. In fact, I didn't see any negative comments at all - only good

Re: [Elecraft] W2 - Possible Addition to Station

. The above equipment does not have the ability to display SWR or power output on 2 meters with the amplifier online. So, I've been looking at something to fill this gap. One option was the $80 MFJ-873 V/U meter. A second, much more expensive option is the Elecraft W2. I'm not a big fan of a string

Re: [Elecraft] W2 - Possible Addition to Station

Buck, I agree *if* one is interested in the SWR at the antenna side, but most are only concerned about the SWR that the transceiver or amplifier sees, and that is at the input to the tuner. Both the KPA500 and the KAT500 indicate the SWR between the PA and the tuner. Without the KPA500 and

Re: [Elecraft] W2 - Possible Addition to Station

Well, as I mentioned, I'm building the 80 watt amp from that QST article, and need a way to do the initial tuning procedure. Got to have some sort of watt meter, and the combination of SWR and Power (as most units provide) is desirable. I agree that the difference between a 1.2:1 and 1.4:1 SWR

I wonder if W2 users keep the utility up on your PC screen during normal operation, so you can see greater resolution of your pwr swr readings than the LEDs provide. Dave - K9FN __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

I don't always keep the utility up but it's very useful when using an antenna tuner or amplifier because of the increased resolution. 73 Bill NZ0T -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/W2-users-tp7575281p7575285.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive

Re: [Elecraft] W2 wattmeter

Very happy with my W2. I have the 2KW coupler. Seems pretty accurate and the LED display is great for casual use. I don't always keep the display up on the computer but it's very useful when greater resolution than the LED display is desired. 73 Bill NZ0T -- View this message in context:
