[Elecraft] W1 Watt Meter

[Bill Johnson]

Doug,

Thank you.  Please email me as I put in the ones that are too weak.  The
idea of the different colors is a nice touch, though, and while mine are
dim, I can tell fairly well instantly if the remote tuner has finished its
job.


73,

With Elecraft's assistance, I've tracked down Green and Yellow LEDs from the
same series as the Red LED used in the W1 as well as an Amber / Orange from
a different manufacturer - all available from Digi-Key.  I'm planning to
order these tomorrow and will advise on relative brightness once they are
received / tested.   I'll provide part numbers at that time.
