OK...I'm tuning a balanced-fed loop through a ZM-2, and get pretty close. Both the K2's wattmeter and the WM-2 wattmeter, which is between the rig and the tuner, are displaying the same power. Even if something is causing the K2's display to be off, would that also affect the WM-2's reading? Should the WM-2 be after the tuner? Would the K2 be more accurate with the WM-2 gone? How would I know? LL/K3ESE __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
