W2

Phil LaMarche-2
I purchased a W2, used, that came with two modules.  200 and 2000.  Do I
really need to monitor the K3's output?  Or, should I put the W2 at the
output of the KPA500.  Advice please.

Re: W2

Dick Dievendorff
Typically wattmeters are connected to the output of the amplifier, to
monitor the overall station output (whether the amplifier is in use or in
bypass) and the SWR of the antenna system.

If you were designing your own amplifier or suspected it of presenting a
poor SWR to the transceiver, you might find it useful to put a wattmeter/SWR
bridge between transceiver and amplifier to verify that the amplifier is
presenting a good match to the transceiver.

The second lower-power W2 module might be useful in a two-radio station
where one station does not use an amplifier.   Or if someone had an
amplifier that covered 160-10 and used just transceiver output on another
ANT connector for 6 meters.
