[Elecraft] K3 and W2

Many of us use tuners at the antenna to provide best match and efficiency
into the antenna without bothering with the feed line to the remote tuner
characteristics.  The insertion of the remote sensor is what is need when
this setup is used.  Otherwise, the remote isn't really needed (a bare K3/K2
etc with built in tuner manages the SWR and Tuning).  The support for the
amp keying into high SWR is a plus and is a huge benefit. I want one!!!

Snip

  It states that a tuner should be connected to
the load side of the sensor so that power/SWR reflects what the transmitter
is seeing and to lessen any RF feedback problems

End Snip

I would also want to be able to use the Internal K3 tuner and if there is
any chance that an issue could arise from this then I would certainly need
to know before ordering.

What (if any) software will be available for the W2?

Will this product emulate the LP-100A for example?

Is there a way to hook up to a P3 to display the readings of the W2?

It would be nice to know what is coming down the pike with regards to the W2
and P3
