Hi, Rick! You connect the Dummy load to the antenna connector of your transmitter using a short jumper coax connector (or a dual-male BNC adapter, if appropriate). Now the transmitter sees a very nice "antenna", approximately 50 ohm resistive impedance. You can transmit (within the power limits of your dummy load) and the transmitter should see more or less a 1:1 SWR load.
I use dual plug BNC adapter to connect my DL-1 to the K3 KXV3 transverter output connector during the milliwatt Tx gain calibration. The adapter looks something like this: http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Amphenol-RF/31-218-RFX/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMvKc Ua6gL0RXDfubrP3pdc2hl1EOgQvgOU%3d 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rick Bleda Sent: Monday, August 19, 2013 11:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] Dummy load I feel like the dummy, but I just bought and put together the DL-1 from Elecraft, and I have no clue how to use it.
