[Elecraft] W2 PTT

[DGB]

Hi Brian ... did the test and they do lose continuity during power up as
the relay is clicking.

The instructions say that the command 'a' from the W2 Utility turns it
on and off which the echos say it
is with a0 and a1.

I have the ptt line that normal goes direct from the MKII to the amp
split at the W2. I intentionally transmit into an ant that gives a very
high swr and it won't break like it's supposed to.

Any other ideas?

thanks 73 Dwight NS9I
