[Elecraft] Dummy Load Recommendation

[Mark Murray]

The previously described RFL-100 $50 resistor dummy load kit (also available
pre-built) is perfect.  With a very nice cabinet, choice of UHF connectors,
and very nice price.

For those who experiment with very small RF Termination Resistor devices,
the microwave company Anaren, Inc., of East Syracuse, NY now manufactures
(overseas) a tiny 450-watt RF termination device that measures roughly
1-inch x 1/2-inch.  DC-through 1.7-GHz.  $24.00 from Mouser.com.  Model #
G450N50W4.  AiN device, 50-Ohms +/-2%.   Two flange holes for mounting on
heat sink.  See spec sheet for temperature limits.  Even at 100-watts
dissipation you'll need a good heat sink and cooling fan; likewise when
wiring up four.  Recommended for experimenters.
