[Elecraft] W1: adapting for high-power

[K1LI]

I need an internal wattmeter for a homebrew project. Except for the fact that
the W1 only takes up to 140W without modification, it looks like a great
solution. I'm thinking about using a surplus bridge from an industrial ISM
generator and "padding" the DC output by 12-dB before feeding (via miniature
coax) to the junctions at D1/R3 and D2/R4.

Can anyone think of a reason that this would NOT work?

Also, if I simply change the voltage at TP1 by adjusting R17, does the
entire power range follow, or does the accuracy suffer at one end of the
range or the other?

Thanks,

Brian K1LI
