W2 with 0.92 FW and VHF sensor unit

[Ed-AE5FV]

I received my W2 VHF sensor today and believe there may be a problem when AUTO mode is selected on the W2 display unit. There is no illumination from the POWER or SWR LEDs when in this configuration. If manual 2/20/200 W ranges are selected, the POWER and SWR LEDs illuminate normally with power inputs between 1-25 Watts. While using the 200 W HF sensor, AUTO and all manual modes are displaying normally at power levels between 1-100 W. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

Thanks & 73,
Ed / AE5FV

My W-2 behaves in exactly the same way with the basic meter. Using the new
software, it is stuck in the 2W range when using auto. I am using a IC-7000
on 2.
