I am really pleased with the W2! It is doing the job I wanted - primarily to monitor the antenna load condition when I use a linear amplifier with my K3. Now, the power output and SWR are clearly visible and easy to interpret. (Its difficult to read slow boucing analog meters that are not directly in my line-of-sight). I especially like the computer on-screen presentation - makes it easy to monitor things.
I have the SWR alarm arranged to interrupt the PTT line to the amp - that is a great feature. It would also be nice to have an over-power condition activate the alarm. I would prefer to have a real shut-down at a pre-set power reading than to rely on ALC to limit power. I wonder if such a feature could be added in firmware!
The W2 certainly is an valuable addition to my station. Thanks Elecraft!
