[Elecraft] Difference in dummy loads

[Eric Norris]

Basically the same thing.  I suggest the Vectronics DL-650 (dx engineering)
or a commercial pull from Ridge Equipment.  For serious testing, I fire up
my 2GHz, 6kW water-cooled dummy load--louder than 10 KPA-1500s on PCP.

Always get more capacity than you need. --because you'll need it later.  If
you get an amp, a high power dummy load is essential for tracking down
possible RFI.  I keep a 50-watt dummy load on ANT2 of the K3S for a quick
TXGN CAL, and a DL-2500 on ANT2 of the KPA1500.  But then, I love the smell
of a hot dummy load in the morning.  It smells like...radio.
