James, there are many possibilities, but if you want a quality dummy load at a reasonable price that is also flat (is a constant 50 ohms non-reactive) to above 500 MHz, take a look at the 75 watt dummy load offered by Ridge Equipment https://www.ridgeequipment.com/store/index.html. It is $12, but you will likely want to buy an adapter to the N connector if you don't have one already.
Caution, this dummy load is rated at 75 watts, but I would not try to push it to 100, even for a short time - those elements are "touchy". 73, Don W3FPR On 7/20/2012 2:15 PM, James wrote: > What is the recommended solution to the requirement of a 5w dummy load > during assembly of the K3? > > > 73 James / K1SD / Rhode Island > > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
