[ICOM] Icom 765: Ant Tuner Detector adjustment requires a SWR3 150 Ohm Dummy Load ??

[Larry Young]

Randy; One could use three(3) 50 Ohm dummy loads connected in series, you could possibly borrow them from friends, or one could connect  three 450 Ohm 35 watt non inductive resistors in parallel.

Btw, 
One reason I'm Shipping my 765 off for adjustment is the Tuner Growls like a mad cat.. well 'el service manual page 6-16 (detector verify ) calls for a SWR3 150 Ohm dummy load at 100w power.

I own No Such dummy load, so I can't complete the adjustment.

Well I've never been bashful about being dumb, but I find no search reference to construction , or purchase of any 150 ohm dummy load.

Has anyone built, or seen one,  or Is this similar to an Auto Dealer having the "special Tool" to make the adjustment to your vehicle ?? 

Any help appreciated just to ease my mind.
