I use the NORTEX Accuprobe. Nice inexpensive, versitile and very sensitive.

I don't have the paperwork in front of me but the Elecraft DL 1 dummy load
has provisions to measure power up to 20 watts with a 10% accuracy. Just
use a dvm. They also make a WM1 that handles more power with a .5 dbm
accuracy.

Hello,
I have been using a wattmeter from Fox for powers under 1 Watt, but
the display is too nervous and hard to read. So I stumbled over the
Elecraft W2 and read that with the 200 W sensor, you can read also
power levels under 2 Watt. This would be really helpful for I
experiment with power levels down to 0.5 mW.
So before I invest, let me just ask some questions:
1. Has someone compared the power indicatores for the levels of 100 -
1000 mW with a precise wattmeter? As far as I understood each led
signifies 100 mW.
2. If I would use the computer readout: How precise is the output?
Just 100 mW or ist it e.g. 147 mW?
3. I am working max. 10 Watt with the Kx3, but normally use only
between 100 mW and 5 W max. Could I adjust with the calibration of
active sensor down to let's say 1 Watt instead of 2 Watt?
4. Is it possible to modify the transformer T1 and T2 of the sensor so
that the range would be (20W - 2 W and 200 mW. Or is there a sensor
like this available on request from Elecraft.
I know a lot of questions, but as far as I can see this meter would be
a real champion for QRPP and could be used with a WSPR TRX.
