W2 Wattmeter question

[DaleJ]

Hi,

I don't post here much so I hope I'm doing this right.

I have a W2 wattmeter coming, it'll be here Friday, it looks to be a  
very good value as all Elecraft products are and will match my K3  
beautifully.  I will have the vhf/uhf sensor along with the HF  
sensor.  I'm wondering if the vhf/uhf coupler might be useable on 1.2  
Ghz?  I realize the accuracy won't be too good, but by how much, any  
estimates or guess?

P.S.  I am very pleased that Elecraft has chosen to support the Apple  
computer platform along with Windows and Linux.  I have downloaded and  
installed the supporting OSX applications for the W2 already.

I didn't know they did that now for W2 - very good.
Helps that Wayne is an i Mac/Pad/Phone user I guess ;-)

Hi Dale,

I designed the couplers for the W2 and have not tested the VHF/UHF coupler
at 1.2GHz.  However, I would expect very poor performance at that frequency.
 It is far outside the design range.
