[Elecraft] W2 wattmeter not reading xv50 output

[John Marvin]

Bob,

You should try installing the W2 utility (obviously you need to connect 
your W2 to a computer via the USB/serial cable that came with the W2 in 
order to do this). It shows the SWR and forward power with more 
precision than you get with the led front panel display. It would be 
interesting to see if you see a different reading when transmitting with 
the XV50 vs.  when you are not transmitting, even if the value is very 
low (i.e. low enough not to light a single led).

Which range led is lit on the front panel?
