In November 1984 QST the ARRL did a product review on this scam. Their 
conclusion, after X-raying the unit (it is incased in epoxy) it consisted 
of eight swamping resistors that are placed at the feed point of the 
antenna. In other words a dummy load!

The review is available on the ARRL members only web site:
