I agree - we will just have to wait - or modify the 200W sensors in some way - I think the limitation is the coupler termination, getting up to 400W (UK limit) might be possible.  

Perhaps in the interim, when it arrives,  I will put the meter on the radio side - after all an amplifier has fixed gain, within limits and not over driving the imput is as important as not overdriving the output.  My W2 is on order since Dayton, I have not heard it is ready yet and I have not decided on the sensor yet but as I have an LP100 I have no need of another HF sensor.

Elecraft - how about producing a sensor without the coupler - so we can develop our own. I am sure you don't want to make one for each and every application e.g. 23cms or 500kHz.
