I have experienced some anomalies like this with my two W2's. Try moving the sensor cable around when you are not TXing. I have found that the cables supplied will (if close other cables in the shack) cause this behavior. Gary at Elecraft Tech help suggested that I substitute a CAT5 cable for the supplied one and that solved the problem in my shack. Perhaps the Aptos guys will start shipping CAT 5 cables with the W2's in the future...
