Hello Tony, As suggested by Don W3FPR, you do need a proper 100W dummy load for long run. Dummy load is not expensive especially in the used market. There are still plenty of left-over from the paging industry. My dummy load is a waste product dismantled from a paging station. Finish the TX gain calibration first and look for a proper dummy load later. 73 Johnny VR2XMC 寄件人︰ Tony Estep <[email protected]> 收件人︰ Elecraft <[email protected]> 傳送日期︰ 2015年03月25日 (週三) 9:28 AM 主題︰ Re: [Elecraft] Don't have a 50W dummy load For those who may be wondering, I received some off-line emails which actually tried to answer my question. The winner was the suggestion that I rubber-band my little resistor array (which is actually good for 10W, not 5W as I said before) to a baggie filled with ice. Thanks to all who provided constructive responses!
