RC,
While the Elecraft W1 is a good instrument and has LEDs to indicate the
level, I believe the steps between the illumination of each progressive
LED are too large to substitute for an analog meter.
If your DMM has a pseudo-analog bar display, you could use that in
conjunction with an RF Probe to indicate small changes in the RF
output. Of course a real analog device, the old swinging meter needle
will usually be easier to see a peak than most digital instruments.

Transmitter Alignment Step three states: "Enter tune
mode and adjust L3 and L4 for maximum power as
indicated on the internal watt-meter. (Use a more
sensitive analog instrument if available.) Limit
tune-up time to 5 to 10 seconds."
My Question: Is the Elecraft WM1 Watt Meter suitable
for this task? The Rev F Manual makes no notification
of its use most likely because it was not available at
the time.
