[Elecraft] Dummy load

[Mark Goldberg]

How much do you want to spend?

One of these Bird Termaline series, or similar is the top of the line, but
will cost you:

I was lucky to find a DA412B/U military surplus 600W dummy (similar to Bird
8401) load at a hamfest for cheap.The good ones have N or better connectors
and Hams tend to avoid them. Adapters are not expensive if you want to
connect to PL259s, but I actually use Ns in most of my station. It will
take a continuous key down from my KPA500 with no problem.

73,
