Tim,

It is on the new Elecraft website.
Go to www.elecraft.com and click on SUPPORT
Then on the page that opens, click on Firmware and Software
On that page, click on Test Equipment Line Firmware and Software
Lastly click on W2 Firmware and Utility.  The Utility link is located
near the bottom of that page.

Thanks to all who answered so quickly. I misunderstood what was what. I was under the impression that the utility was mainly for updating the firmware. I was wrong. Thanks for setting me straight.

Hello Tim,

You are right. The W2 Utility is used mainly for updating the firmware. I believe you are looking for the W2 Interface software. The new web site doesn't appear to have a link on the software page, but by typing "W2" in the Search box I was able to find it. Scroll about half way down the page to find the W2 Interface software.

Thank you, David.

That is exactly what I am looking for. I am also thinking of writing a little utility to display the data.

On that page is a link that is supposed to go to a mod for the W2 but it goes to the serial interface commands file. I think Elecraft is having trouble with their new design. Oh well, they will get it fixed.

Now I'm confused.  The web site says that the W2 Current Production
Firmware is V1.00, 4-12-2010.

When I look at my remote station using the W2 Interface Ver 1.12.1.18
W4SMT software, the bottom of the screen says "Connected to W2 ver 1.07"
  Why the difference?

K1ike, Joe
