[Elecraft] New wattmeter plans?

[Steve Masticola]

Chuck, I'm glad you're happy with it. But the fact that KV5J is selling a separate box to update the W2 kind of argues for my point that the W2 needs a design refresh. Read the reviews on eHam and you'll see what I mean. https://www.eham.net/reviews/view-product?id=14820
For reference, here's KV5J's site: https://kv5j.com/store/product/digital-display-unit-for-elecraft-w2-watt-meter
My guess is that Elecraft will update the W2 when they can't get components to manufacture it any longer, and if they still want to sell wattmeters at that time. Same as any electronics manufacturer does.
