Ah Don W. ,   Perfect as ever!

I put the Dummy-Load onto KAT500 ANT#3 and stepped through the bands,
initiating a "Tune" on each. Then I transmitted Tx-Data mode and was
able to get the 50 to 60 watts I was looking for: 160m through 10m.

Off-Hand,  can you, or anyone,  suggest which ones might suffice for my
RG213 coax?
