The short answer is that they are both correct. Each measures the SWR AT THAT

The internal tuner does not change the SWR on the feedline (at the
output of the tuner). It will change the SWR that is at the input of
the tuner, and that is the SWR indicated by the K3. The W2 is
indicating the SWR at the tuner output (and that will not change with
tuning).
For those who

What kind of transmitter is this? Could the transmitter be overshooting
initially and then settling down to the desired power level?

Don,
It will be after the sensor (toward the antennas).
Check at lower power and see if the situation still exists. If so, then I
think you are looking for a loose connection

Sorry for the confusion.
Sensor is after the output of the driver and before the input of the
tuner.

So how does one determine what is changing with power variation.

I am confused about where your sensor is.
In one paragraph, you say the sensor is "between my antenna tuner and amp"
further down you say the sensor is "after the tuner and before the amp"
So, do you have the sensor at the output of your driver and before the
input of your amplifier, or is
I have been using my W2 for about a week now and I am trying to
understand why it is doing what it is doing.
Basically I can get my SWR reading tuned in fine using normal tuning
procedures and then turn on the amp and whistle in it and the SWR
changes very little.
However when I go to TX usin

The 200w sensor has better power resolution below 1-2W.
The pre-release version of the W2 manual is now on the web page:

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
