Guys - The W2 is fully user adjustable for calibration. Please see the manual for details. Basically, if you wish to adjust its absolute level up or down to match a favorite 2nd Wattmeter, you can easily do this by sending +/- serial commands to it from W2 Utility.
My W2 is adjusted to almost exactlyu match my home Bird WM (which reads differently from another of my Birds...) ;-) 73, Eric _..._ Bill Johnson wrote: > I have the W2 wattmeter and original production software had some issues. > Those in most part appear to be corrected.
