I haven't seen much posted here about the new W1 SWR/Wattmeter. I got mine
earlier this week, and put it together the next day. It goes together
quickly and easily. Too bad there isn't a custom case for it, but it's
really not a big deal. The rubber feet would presumably protect the bottom
of the circuit board so that nothing would short if you lay the W1 on a flat
surface. However, I chose to place a sheet of plastic over the bottom just
for added protection--I used plastic that is used as packaging material from
one of those items you buy at a store and then have to struggle to get the
plastic covering off! It's pliable, but not too much so.
So, has anyone with better bench equipment than I have checked out the
accuracy of the calibration procedure given in the manual? I know I'm in
the ballpark at least, and that's probably good enough, but I'm curious to
know if anyone has tested it more precisely.
Anyway, it's a very nice little unit. Should make a handy addition to my
Field Day pack.
