Re: W2 Bug

K5WA
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+

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 !
