[Elecraft] W2 PROBLEM

[Michael Eberle]

Holding the SENSOR and RANGE buttons simultaneously changes between 
peak-hold and average.  You might also want to set the range to 200 
since 'auto' may take a couple seconds to determine the correct range 
and 2KW would be too high for just 40 or 80 watts.
