HI all,    I've just been wiring up my W2 wattmeters... and neither one 
is recognised  by my win 10 computer.

The USB to 3.5mm plug Elecraft cord works fine with my K3...  on com28

But the W2 utility keeps sending ": " at 9600 bps....

and will not provide the current software level. with 1.0 being 
available.. ( maybe it is already at 1.0 ).....


Then I want to run  The w2 interface software, but it says" "looking for 
a W2" , and on the setup screen   " w2 not found on COM28"   && "unable 
to open com 28"


I've verified the existance of com29 on device manager at 9600.... & 
I've rebooted... I've even read the W2 manual several times. I used to 
have this working obn a different computer.  And can make it work on my  
toughbook portable.  I 've tried different usb ports on the main machine 
& com settings.

Ideas ????
