Use the W2 Utility to send the "[" and "]" commands. These characters
adjust the SWR Trip Point for the W2 alarm. I am guessing this value
needs a slight adjustment to work. Note when you send the "[" and "]"
characters, the number returned is the SWR trip value with an implied
decimal, i.e. you see 30, means an SWR of 3.0:1 will trip the alarm and
open the PTT line.
