Overview

Elecraft W2 Wattmeters

Elecraft W2 Wattmeters are versatile, auto-ranging power and SWR meters with simultaneous, fast response dual bar graph LEDs. Keep track of transmitter, amplifier, and antenna performance with this compact and attractive display that will fit just about anywhere in the shack. It requires only 10-14 Vdc and sensor cable connections.

The W2 features two sensor inputs, an over-range alarm, a fully isolated amplifier keying cutout relay and amp keying control. PC remote connectivity is supported with the included USB cable. Read both power and SWR with higher accuracy, as well as set and check alarms, turn the LEDs off, and use for remote operations, all via computer.

Included with the Elecraft W2 is one remote RF power sensor, for 1- 54 MHz or 144-450 MHz, which can be placed near the transceiver or amplifier output, minimizing coax cable length. Two sensors can be connected to the W2 to monitor different transmitters or amplifiers, switch-selected from the front panel. Also known as Directional Couplers, sensors have standard SO-239 connectors (UHF female) and connect to the display with standard CAT5 cables, also included. Accommodated by the second sensor input, additional sensors are available separately for a secondary radio, amplifier or alternative frequency coverage.

DX Engineering stocks all six versions of the Elecraft W2, three as factory-assembled and tested units, and three as no-solder, easy-build kit units. All versions include one remote power sensor. Choose from the 1-54 MHz, 200W version or the 144-450 MHz, 200W version, both with 2/20/200 watt ranges; or the 1 -54 MHz, 2kW version for 20/200/2000 watt ranges.

Offering accurate and efficient SWR and power metering for in-shack and remote operations, Elecraft W2 Wattmeters are an excellent choice. Order yours today from DX Engineering.
