[Elecraft] W2 directional coupler N-connector

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Please note that changing the connectors from SO-239s to N's will 
uncalibrate the W2's directional coupler as you go higher in frequency - 
especially on 432 MHz, leading to less accurate SWR indications. It may 
also affect wattmeter accuracy.

We included additional compensation components in the coupler design to 
cancel the reluctance of the SO-239s, flattening the coupler's frequency 
response.

73,

Eric
