Use the W2 Utility to send the "[" and "]" commands. These characters adjust the SWR Trip Point for the W2 alarm. I am guessing this value needs a slight adjustment to work. Note when you send the "[" and "]" characters, the number returned is the SWR trip value with an implied decimal, i.e. you see 30, means an SWR of 3.0:1 will trip the alarm and open the PTT line.
