I can't speak for Elecraft, but the conversation took place in the last
couple of weeks. I also suggested that they add a "net power" display
mode (forward - reflected) like the Alpha 4510 and Telepost LP-100A
wattmeters have, since this more closely approximates what we understand
as "power output" than forward power whenever the SWR is greater than unity.

How long ago? Seems firmware hasn't been updated in a while.

Many thanks Vic, I can see that Alarm is saved to eprom. I didn't notice
this during previous tests.
I guess fixing the manual is easier than fixing the code ;-)
