[Elecraft] K3 TX Calib Dummy Load Recommendations

For my KX3, I built a dummy load from three 150 ohm 2 watt 
resistors and a BNC connector. The resistors are in parallel 
with a lead going to the center conductor of the connector. The 
other leads are folded back over the resistors and attached to 
the ground-side of the connector. The whole outside is then 
covered with a piece of coax braid. It does well on the antenna 
analyser test Bob, K4TAX suggests.

It lives in a pocket of Rose's case and goes where the radio goes.
