Hi Mike,

Thanks for pointing this out. I did try both bracket characters anyway, though. I did solve my problem, though. After searching the archives, I found that one may need to send repeated bracket commands to the W2. I tried this and it worked! I was able to set my SWR trip point where I wanted it, at 3.5:1.

Chuck,
   Do you realize you are using two different bracket characters?

Sorry, I forgot my callsign in the earlier reply.

I just fired up a new W2 wattmeter, and it seems to be working ok, except that 
I can't seem to adjust the SWR alarm..

I'm using the W2 utility version 1.3.2.27 and my W2 firmware is version 1.00.  I have the PTT keying cables 
connected to the W2, and am trying to set the SWR trip point that will open the amplifier keying connection.  
On p. 8 of the version D2 manual it says I can toggle the alarm on / off by sending the character 
"a" to the W2.  This seems to be working okay in that I get the expected responses "a1," 
and "a0."

The manual does not specify what the factory default trip point is.  It does indicate that I can 
move the trip point up or down by send the bracket characters "}" and "[" to 
the W2, and that the response will be a number with an implied decimal point.  But all I get is 00 
in response.

What am I doing wrong?  This is very confusing.
