The photos of the W2 appear to show 20 LEDs in a row which will provide a power display resolution of only 100 watts in the 2 KW scale, 10 watts with the 200 watt scale. That means if I see the 300 watt LED lit up I will know only that my power output is somewhere between 250 and 350 watts.

Thanks for the manual. If one only operates in the below 200 Watt range, is the advantage to using the 200 W MAX 1.8-54 MHz Directional Coupler over the 2 KW MAX Directional Coupler solely in having the milliwatt range? I'm think a 2nd Directional Coupler might be useful for VHF/UHF use. Is ther
