[Elecraft] Need to select a dummy load for K3 TX, calibration...(advice?)

[Larry Phipps]

I agree with everything that's been said about the Ridge loads. I have been recommending them for a couple years to customers of the LP-100A kit for use in calibration. One note: make sure you have an appropriate BNC to N adapter as their loads tend to all have N connectors (usually male).

Don,

He is *offering* it up for bid at a starting price of $9.99 - that is 
not the same as "selling" it.  Who knows the bidding may go up to $50 
before the 3 days have ended.

So many people tell me about things like that quoting the bid price, but 
when I look, the price is always higher.  Please clarify if it is a 
bidding price or a selling price (as in BUY NOW)

BTW, the Ridge Equipment dummy loads are very good.  Too bad they no 
longer have the 200 watt load nearly flat up to 1 GHz.  I should have 
gotten 2 or 3 instead of only one.
