A wattmeter based on practical silicon diodes has a minimum threshold.
Its only zero output if your neighbor can't hear it on an antenna.

I checked my VI with a sensitive output meter - with the "power" pot at

Can anyone tell me the trick for disabling transmit in the CW mode

Turn Power all the way counterclockwise?
But that's still a few watts. Feed that to a shielded dummy load.
