For bench purposes, how hard is it to build antenna loads for the bench. I
hate having to hook up a antenna, LMR and Pigtail every time I test a radio.
I am pretty new to this Building my own stuff and not buying preconfigured.
Can you just solder
Jeremy forgot to add:
1. Solder the LMR center conductor to the top of a 6-in long banana.
2. Solder the LMR braid to the top of an 8-in long banana.
3. Submerge both bananas in a two-gallon plastic pail of dill pickle
juice.
4. Once in the pail be sure that the bananas are NOT touching

Ah, I have the same problem. I asked mike over at UBNT the other day about
that with the Bullet M's. I wanted to know if it was cool to power them up
without antenna because I needed to configure 12 of them and I didn't want
my eyes to melt. He said it was okay for a short period of time..
You sure this isn't the Ham Radio list?

You can strip the shield back on coax like suggested, but you stand
the chance of having too high of a standing wave ratio and harming the RF amp.
You can just keep a couple rubber duckies with the right gender
changer on the bench, or terminate to a proper dummy load like these:
