Hello folks,
I sent this to Support, but they are probably resting up until Monday,
so I thought I would ask here. Has anyone had this problem with the W2
wattmeter?
I just assembled my unit. It seems to work correctly except that I can't
enable the alarm function.
1. When I turn the W2 on, I hear the relay click, and it does interrupt
the ptt at this point.
2. The W2 utility program (USB, running on XP) finds and communicates
with the W2. When I click on the ALARM button, the label changes from
OFF to ON.
3. But when I test it by transmitting into a 'wrong' antenna (SWR=13:1)
it does not flash LEDs or activate the relay.
4. Firmware is 1.00 and utility program is also 1.00.
Has anyone had a similar problem?
