[Elecraft] Ceramic Tip Alig. Tool

Sat Nov 16 11:04:00 2002

Hi

I have a OHR WM-2 watt meter and the Dummy Load. I can recommend them as a
warm up kit for the K2 and you will find you use them all the time. The
wattmeter is accurate and covers up to 10 watts. The dummy load can be
modified easily to turn it into a power 20 db attenuator so the WM-2 can
read up to 100 watts. Although not absolutely required the meter and load
make alignment of the K2 a snap. You can build the dummy load in about 1
hour and the wattmeter in a few hours.
