The Elecraft W2-A is a versatile, auto-ranging RF power and SWR meter that
utilizes remote sensing.
Up to two remote sensors can be attached, with various power and frequency
ranges available.
Sensors use standard CAT5 shielded or unshielded cables.
OVERVIEW
Versatile Auto-ranging Power/SWR Meter
The Elecraft W2 wattmeter provides the fast, high-brightness LED bar
graphs you need to keep track of transmitter and amplifier performance. With
four power ranges (2/20/200/2000 W), the W2 can satisfy the needs of both QRO
and QRP operators. The compact, attractive display unit will fit just about
anywhere, requiring only 10-14 VDC and sensor cables.
Remote Sensors for Any Application
RF sensors for the W2 can be placed near the transmitter’s output, minimizing
coax length. Two sensors can be connected to the W2, if required, to monitor
different transmitters or ampfliers, switch-selected from the front panel.
Sensors optimized for 144-450 MHz and HF-6 m are available, with two different
power ranges. The sensors use standard CAT5 shielded or unshielded cables.
Amplifier Keying Control and Alarms
The W2 can be configured to generate alarm outputs at a high SWR. It
also includes a fully-isolated amplifier keying cutout relay. On any alarm
condition, the amp’s key line can be broken, preventing possible damage to
sensitive equipment.
Remote Control and Data Measurement
The W2’s built-in RS232 port allows you to use a computer to read both
power and SWR with higher accuracy, as well as to set and check alarms, turn the
LEDs off, and other operations. You can use the supplied PC software, or write
your own remote-control applications. The W2’s RS232 drive circuitry is intended
for short cable lengths (typically 6’), but you can also use the Elecraft KUSB
or other USB-to-RS232 adapters, greatly extending the control cable length when
required.
