[Elecraft] K2 with the W2 Wattmeter kit

Good choice.

Works with any transceiver. The RS232 interface is for f/w updates 
and data displays via an attached computer.

> If so, do I position it before or after the tuner?

Depends on whether you are using a rig's internal tuner or something 
external. In my station the W2 is installed between the KPA500 
output and an external tuner that I use with an "all-band" doublet. 
The K3's KAT3 is bypassed in this arrangement.
