Hi all:
I'm wanting to eliminate the coax jumper, " T " connector, clip lead
setup I'm using now on my Hf to LF transverter. I want to add an
input " dummy load " on the board to tap power from. So, I need to
know the proper type of resistor to use. I tried what looked to be
power resistors from an old monitor, at 53.4 ohms with 1 watt out,
the SWR to the 10 meter rig was 3:1 ... I tried a combination that
read 49.4 ohms, and still the same SWR. I can put the RS 25 watt
dummy load back in line, and the SWR is flat. What type of resistor
should I use. Thanks for any info.
