[Elecraft] Dummy load

[Dick Dievendorff]

Hi, Rick!

You connect the Dummy load to the antenna connector of your transmitter
using a short jumper coax connector (or a dual-male BNC adapter, if
appropriate).  Now the transmitter sees a very nice "antenna", approximately
50 ohm resistive impedance.  You can transmit (within the power limits of
your dummy load) and the transmitter should see more or less a 1:1 SWR load.

I use dual plug BNC adapter to connect my DL-1 to the K3 KXV3 transverter
output connector during the milliwatt Tx gain calibration. 

The adapter looks something like this:

I feel like the dummy, but I just bought and put together the DL-1 from
Elecraft, and I have no clue how to use it. Can someone help? I need step by
step instructions: ( lol
