Take a look at Ridge Equipment, either on the web or ebay, I bought a really nice air dummy load from them, tested and certified, for 15 or 20 bucks, 100 watt. Its small and works perfect for the K3 testing and calibration, sure worth 20 bucks to have a dummy with no oil or mess. And its good into microwave freqs. 73 Merv KH7C > Jim, > > If you have a *long* length of old 50 ohm coax hiding somewhere, it might be > useful as a dummy load at some frequencies if its loss is high enough, but > make sure that its centre conductor and braid are not shorted. > > IMHO a good dummy load is worth buying or building. > > 73, > Geoff > GM4ESD > > > >> From: "Jim Rossell" <[email protected]> >> Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 12:35:58 PM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific >> > > >> .
