Try to find carbon resistors as newer film resistors may be reactive.
Older carbon resistors have a tendency to migrate upwards in value. Be
sure to check them with a meter.

For my KX3, I built a dummy load from three 150 ohm 2 watt resistors
and a BNC connector. The resistors are in parallel with a lead going
to the center conductor of the connector. The other leads are folded
back over the resistors and attached to the ground-side of the
connector. The whole outside is then covered with a piece of coax
braid. It does well on the antenna analyser test Bob, K4TAX suggests.
It lives in a pocket of Rose's case and goes where the radio goes.
