Don,

Thanks for your thorough response!  In thinking that through and then 
going back to read about calibration of the KAT2 I realized what I had 
done wrong :-(  I had not commanded the KAT2 to re-tune into the dummy 
load!  It was still set for whatever it needed to match my antenna 
system!!  After that dawned on me and I re-tuned the KAT2, the WM-1 and 
the K2 agreed as exactly as I can read the meter at 5 w.  For some 
reason, the WM-2 (even though re-calibrated and double checked) is still 
off about 20%.  But those are close enough readings for my purposes!!

Back to setting up the SW-40+!  This is my therapy while I anxiously 
await delivery of my K3, probably near the end of November!!

Tnx es 73,
Randy, KS4L
K2 #337
K3 on order!
