A typo that was repeated through the document and made its way to being labelled on the PCB!!
That is some typo. Check the docs and I doubt you will think them as a typo. Seems like a lot of opinions of people who think this is some other product of another company or a mistake. But the document is still on the Elecraft web site and can be read. The user guide has a date of 2006 and there is also a data sheet along with other mini-modules from Elecraft. It is listed for $89.95. I am convinced it was the older name of the W1. Maybe some Elecraft person can confirm.
