Hi, Bill! The ability to save the Alarm state was added in rev 0.93 (rev 0.94 is the current rev). You still need a pc to set it, but it will stay that way from then on. The front panel "Sensor" button clears the Alarm message (flashing SWR LED's) and resets for the next high SWR condition. Please use the "Elecraft W2 Utility" program to update your W2's firmware and enjoy this feature. If you are not familiar...
