For what it might be worth, my Power Master 2 from Array Solutions has an option called "Net Power" that does exactly what you want.

Downing Phoenix, AZ From: Vic K2VCO-2 [via Elecraft] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 24, 2013 7:09 PM To: kd7gc Subject: W2 Wattmeter idea I just ordered a W2 wattmeter, haven't received it yet, and I already want to change something! It displays forward power and SWR. When the SWR is 1:1, then the power output of the transmitter is equal to the forward power. But when it is greater than 1:1, then the actual power output is the forward power LESS the reflected power. I would like an option to display this output power, forward less reflected. This could probably be done in the firmware, a "SMOP" as Wayne likes to say. I realize that this does not tell you the power delivered to the antenna, for which you would need to know the line loss. But it is still a more useful indication than just the forward power. -- Vic K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html _____ If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the discussion below: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/W2-Wattmeter-idea-tp7582024.html To unsubscribe from Elecraft, click here <http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=unsubsc ribe_by_code&node=365791&code=a2Q3Z2NAcS5jb218MzY1NzkxfDE3MzQ0NDk4ODY=> . <http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=macro_v iewer&id=instant_html%21nabble%3Aemail.naml&base=nabble.naml.namespaces.Basi cNamespace-nabble.view.web.template.NabbleNamespace-nabble.view.web.template .NodeNamespace&breadcrumbs=notify_subscribers%21nabble%3Aemail.naml-instant_ emails%21nabble%3Aemail.naml-send_instant_email%21nabble%3Aemail.naml> NAML -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/W2-Wattmeter-idea-tp7582024p7582025.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
