Hi,
Can anyone recommend what they feel is the best 50 W dummy load with a UHF female connector that I can use to make K3 TX calibrations? thanks todd WB2ZAB ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

I like the OHR 100w dummy load. It's a kit you can build in about an
hour. http://www.ohr.com/rfl100.htm I have built and used this one for a number of years...should last forever.

I'm also very pleased with my OHR. And it uses a UHF female jack. One
limitation: The load is good up to around 2m, but becomes too reactive above that range. 73, matt W6NIA On Fri, 10 Apr 2015 13:23:39 -0400, you wrote: >I like the OHR 100w dummy load.

Hi,
This is may favorite, recommended by many on this reflector: https://www.ridgeequipment.com/store/dummyloads.html It will outperform anything you can build yourself, kits included, with its SWR well below 1.05 up to well above 1GHz. Don't forget to add the N to SO239 adapter which will add up to still bargain $17. Tighten it up good with a wrench and you will never notice it's there. The little 50 ohm BNC terminators are a bargain, too. AB2TC - Knut

Don't tighten up N types with a wrench unless it is a calibrated torque one!
you risk damaging the connection pin if you over tighten.

Unfortunately, I just tried to buy one and when I tried to add it to my
cart, the page tells me the item is no longer available. 73, Scott, N9AA On 4/10/15 1:59 PM, ab2tc wrote: > Hi, > > This is may favorite, recommended by many on this reflector: > > https://www.ridgeequipment.com/store/dummyloads.html > > It will outperform anything you can build yourself, kits included, with its > SWR well below 1.05 up to well above 1GHz.

Hi again,
That's too bad. I guess it's surplus and can't last forever. It was truly a bargain. AB2TC - Knut

Agree, though mine took more like two hours this
morning (one hand is in a wrist brace just now) :-) A very nice design and resistance is 49.5 ohms, within 1% of spec. Phil W7OX On 4/10/15 10:23 AM, Brian - wrote: > I like the OHR 100w dummy load.

That 75 watt dummy load from ridgeequipment.com sure looks nice... but it
is no longer available.

You can still get deals over on the "other" site. I got a 250 Watt Bird
(that's 250 Watts, CCS), for $100. 73, Dick, W1KSZ On 4/18/2015 4:38 PM, David Bunte wrote: > That 75 watt dummy load from ridgeequipment.com sure looks nice... but it > is no longer available. > > Dave - K9FN > > On Sat, Apr 18, 2015 at 7:22 PM, Bill Coleman <[hidden email]> wrote: > >>> On Apr 10, 2015, at 1:59 PM, ab2tc <[hidden email]> wrote: >>> >>> Hi, >>> >>> This is may favorite, recommended by many on this reflector: >>> >>> https://www.ridgeequipment.com/store/dummyloads.html >>> >>> It will outperform anything you can build yourself, kits included, with >> its >>> SWR well below 1.05 up to well above 1GHz.
