Hi Scott and all,

I use a LEADER LPM-880 Power Meter (5, 20 and 120W scale) which also
features a 50 Ohm Dummy Load. It came very handy when aligning the K2 and
calibrating the ATU. Currently I have it connected to the ANT-2 output
connector of the K2 so as to prevent the use of that outlet without any
load.

There's a second hand one being sold for 50$ at
http://www.skywave.co.uk/acatalog/Skywave_Catalogue_SECOND_HAND_15.html.
There is no picture available.

Any way you can see it at my web site http://www.qsl.net/ea3blq , My K2's
Page menu option. It's the third picture named "Basic K2 and aligning
instruments"

Best 73
