Kat500 as wattmeter?

Elecraft mailing list
Is there an app to take the fwd/ref information from a KAT500 to display on a computer
monitor?

Mark,

The OPERATE tab of the KAT500 Utility shows the VFWD and VRFL as well as
the VSWR.  It also shows the Bypass VSWR.  Perhaps that is what you are
looking for.

Yes I'd found that. What I was hoping for is a readout in watts, with a bargraph,
like that provided with the W2 or the remote app for the KPA500.

"KPA500 Remote" might work for you - not sure if it has a "local" mode
(I've never used it), but I suppose you could run server and client on
the same PC if you had to ....
