[Elecraft] Rescaling the W2?

[Don Wilhelm]

Scott,

I believe that would require a new sensor and firmware to support it.
Popular scales on wattmeters are 200 watts and 2000 watts full scale, so 
you are not going to get much better with another brand product.
The W2 used with its utility program can give you more resolution, but 
then using the Utility when mobile would not be advisable.
