Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft W2 Wattmeter for sale ... needs repair
Tempting, but I already have one. These are expensive or I'd bid on it for fun too. Should be an easy fix...maybe. - Chuck, KE9UW -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

I'd buy it just for the fun of fixing it if I still lived in the USA! 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel CWops #5 Formerly K2VCO https://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 15/04/2021 20:33, David Gilbert wrote: I have a W2 wattmeter with the 2 KW sensor that no longer functions.
