This happened several more times. I had been in PEP mode while all this happened but after I changed to average mode it has not happened again. Hope the coming firmware updates solve this issue.

Interesting problem with my W2 this morning. Was on 75 for a net at about 500 watts into (at first) a Windom and then a sloper. I have the 2KW 1.8-54 Mhz sensor. The 2KW range on the meter stopped working - acted as if I was in the 200W range. The other ranges also seemed shifted down with the 200W range acting like the 20W range. Also the meter would not turn off. Pushing the on/off button caused it to recycle but it stayed on. Very strange. I tried reinstalling the firmware with no success. Finally I unplugged the power cord, waited a minute, and plugged it back in. That did it - all is fine now. Could be RF from the Windom - mine tends to send RF back down the coax even with an RF choke in line. Anyone else had this happen?
