[Elecraft] W2

Check to make sure the coax connectors are tight.  Sounds like a
grounding/stray rf issue, but I could be very wrong.  If the connectors are
tight then your antennas may be picking up rf from one another.  Try
grounding the unused antenna system, then transmit.  If you have no issue,
then the antennas are returning rf to the pickups.  I have diversity receive
in my shack with the K3.  If I don't ground the diversity antenna, I pick up
stray rf, enough to trigger the relay built into the K3 to protect the
receiver.  I need to come up with a different system to avoid grounding but
limit the return RF.  I do run 1.5KW so this is my issue.

I'm using 2 W2 in my antenna system.
They are side by side on the shelf and the Remote sensors are pretty much
the length of the interconnecting cable away.
I'm getting interaction between the meters. I getting readings one the one
I'm not transmitting on, as well as the one in use.
I'm not sure if it's coming from the interconnect lines that are parallel
for the complete run or if its interaction in the antennas.
Anyone else experience this??
