It's a good idea to check the resistance of any used dummy load, especially one that has some age on it.
The resistance of my 30+ year old Heath Cantenna gradually reduced to 42 ohms. This was enough error for the power meter to indicate a potential transmitter problem. W1GA is selling non-inductive replacement resistors on eBay for use in the Cantenna. I purchased one and it brought the resistance back to 50 ohms. ----- Dave My Web Site -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Don-t-have-a-50W-dummy-load-tp7600633p7600647.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
