Elecraft Meters and Test Equipment
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.

Elecraft XG3 Programmable Signal Generators
Elecraft's XG3 programmable signal generator is a versatile signal source with four calibrated output levels that cover the 160 through 2 meter bands. It's ideal for receiver calibration, sensitivity tests, signal tracing, and as a VFO for home-brew projects. The USB interface cable allows computer setup of frequency, sweep range, speed and steps or jumps to bands, output level, and more! It's also useful outdoors—for antenna evaluation, field strength measurements, micro-power CW beacons for T-hunts, etc. XG3 features and specs include: * 1.5-200 MHz range, with a typical resolution of 1-24 Hz. Calibrated output range 1.5-200 MHz. * 12 programmable bands for 160-2 meters * Four calibrated power output levels: - 107 dBm (1 uV) - 73 dBm (50 uV, S9) - 33 dBm (S9+40) - 0 dBm (S9+73) = 1mW @ 50 ohms * Two programmable sweep functions * CW and RTTY Beacon modes * Downloadable software and firmware upgrades * USB interface cable included * Power: Internal 9-volt battery or external 11-14 Vdc via 2.1mm * Power Consumption: 60mA max. at 0 dBm out, 25 mA typical. * Connectors include BNC female 50 ohm output, 2.1mm DC input and 3.5mm female TRS for USB interface cable. NOTE: Precautions must be taken prevent RF damage to this unit, which is not covered under warranty. Do not allow the transceiver to be placed into transmit when the XG3 is connected. Elecraft XG3 Programmable Signal Source units are sold assembled and ready to use. Order one for your test bench from DX Engineering.

Elecraft W1 140W Computing Wattmeter/SWR Bridge Kit
The Elecraft W1 140W Computing Wattmeter and SWR Bridge kit is a versatile microprocessor-based RF power and SWR meter that can be used with any transmitter from QRP levels to 140 watts output from 1.8 to 30 MHz. The W1 automatically selects the proper power range of up to 1.4, 14, or 140 watts and indicates the peak forward power and SWR on built-in bar graph LEDs. High resolution power and SWR readings are also available for data display on a computer via a 3.5mm connector for an optional USB cable. Designed to be used as a stand-alone unit, the W1 can also be built into existing equipment or an enclosure of your choice. Shipped as an unassembled full kit. Features include: * Auto-ranging power ranges: 150 mW to 1.4 W, 1.5 W to 14 W, 15W to 140 W * SWR ranges 1.1 to greater than 5:1 * Computer readable via USB * Accuracy: 0.5 dB typical * Powered by 9 V battery or external 12 V DC

Elecraft 2T-GEN 2-Tone Test Oscillator Signal Generator
Elecraft 2T-GEN 2-Tone Test Oscillator Signal Generator is a project kit that you build. This bench-top generator is designed to provide the test standard 700 and 1900 Hz audio source for measuring the transmitter Intermodulation Distortion (IMD) of SSB transceivers and linear amplifiers. The 2T-GEN allows you to quickly assess the linearity of the transmitter and amplifier. This 2-tone test signal is an excellent stress test for any amplifier. For the transmitter section of the transceiver, as well as for an amplifier, the 2-tone test can help you determine whether your SSB signal has proper fidelity or improper splatter. The 2T-GEN kit has an RCA output connector with plenty of drive transceiver and transmitter microphone inputs, and includes rubber feet for grip and isolation. Conveniently powered by an on-board 9 V battery, but packing a 200mV punch, this signal generator is a must-have for any ham shack. Sold and shipped as an unassembled full kit for an easy-build project. Features of the ECT-2T-GEN include: * Compact size: 2.5 in. wide and 3.5 in. long * Adjustable output: 0-200 mV * Produces 700 and 1900 Hz tones * Very low harmonic distortion: -55 dB For an enjoyable afternoon kit building project, the Elecraft 2T-GEN 2-Tone Test Oscillator Signal Generator is a handy piece of test gear for any Amateur operator. Order a couple, build both and give away one as a gift! Spread the word: Elecraft kits and accessories are now in stock at DX Engineering!
