W2 Utility
Locked
 
|
Maybe I missed something here, but I really had to do some serious
searching to find the W2 Utility so I could see the display on my (Windows XP) laptop. I eventually found it in /software/W2, but somehow I couldn't find a link in any of the official download windows! I was able to recalibrate my K3 power settings much more precisely, but much to my dismay, found the power output (100 Watt setting) dropped from 17 Meters on up. 6M showed output around 90 watts! I don't know where the "loss" is, and it doesn't matter much to me since I use an amplifier on all bands. Maybe I'm expecting too much...

Bert,
I had the same issue. I think when I restarted IE the browser cache cleared and then ok. But, until then I thought I had lost part of my brain (along with the other parts!). I have an issue here. The peak hold no longer works. It was working and then quit. I had been using QRO and when I shut down my K3 and then linked back up to the W2 I could no longer get peak power to work. I have also had the KUSB fail on me as well, just out of warranty, I have switched to RS232 port on my PC. The KUSB failure seems to have messed with my ports so am trying to clean that up as well. Nothing unusual and not caused by Elecraft, but I am now ordering another 232 to USB converter. 73, Bill K9YEQ K2 #35; KX1 #35; K3 #1744; mini mods ATS-3B -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of [hidden email] Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 7:24 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: [Elecraft] W2 Utility Maybe I missed something here, but I really had to do some serious searching to find the W2 Utility so I could see the display on my (Windows XP) laptop.

Hi, Bill!
If you send the W2 a "P" via the W2 Utility (or the buttons on the W2 Interface program) the Peak-Hold LED should come back. Sending the command toggles the feature on/off with each "P". 73, Brian, W6FVI Elecraft, Inc. Bill K9YEQ wrote: > Bert, > > I had the same issue.

Brian, I don't see the peak hold on the computer display - will we see that in a later version?
