[Elecraft] W2 wattmeter in SO2R

[Bill K9YEQ]

Eric,

Thanks.  I have the latest.  It only happened once.  I don't recall the
specific circumstances to my issue, it did occur after the update, once, and
has not happened since.  My only issue now is that I have no where to plug
it into power, need to run the fabulous P3!  Will get some adapters today.

  We changed the autodetect timing in later W2 firmware releases to dela
with SO2R use. Check to make sure you have the latest f/w loaded in the W2.
