Subject: Re: [Elecraft] and now something completely different.. the w2

1. Not possible. The two sensors feed into an electronic switch that connects 
one sensor at a time to the microprocessor/LED bargraph display.

2. See the "W2 Owners Manual Rev D2", available on the Elecraft website. 
On page 5, "Important note" #5, it describes how to put the W2 into "search" 
mode. The W2 will automatically connect to the sensor getting RF. I wouldn't 
recommend allowing *both* sensors to be hot; CW or SSB will cause the sensors 
to switch rapidly and the resulting display would be meaningless.
