[Elecraft] Dummy Load

[ab2tc]

Hi,

I highly recommend this dummy load. I have 3 of them and I routinely expose
them to 100+ watts for short periods. My IC-7200 typically puts out 120W on
a 14V supply. I do not think these dummy loads are "touchy" at all. They are
probably mostly thermally limited although it's likely that something will
fuse if really high power is applied. 100+ watts, no problem IMHO.

PS: NFI here, too, but a very satisfied customer.
