[Elecraft] W2 SWR alarm

[Gary Hinson]

Hi.

I finally figured out how to set, adjust the level and reset/clear the SWR
alarm on my new W2 wattmeter.

I had been trying to command the W2 to change the alarm setpoint simply by
sending a [ or ] from the command tester in the W2 utility, but inputting [
or ] followed by <enter> always returned [44; each time.  I re-read the
command reference (which, by the way Elecraft, is about as obscure and geeky
as it could conceivably be!) thinking I was sending the wrong command, but
apparently not.  Next, I tried putting the [ command in a macro, and that
did the trick: each time I send the [, the W2 reduces the set point, and ]
increases the set point.  Curiously the [ and ] now work whether I use the
macro or directly enter the commands.
