Dummy Load with integral digital wattmeter
Locked
 
|
I have recently built a GRPoMeter which has a 16 Watt dummy load with a
digital SWR/Wattmeter in it. It’s great...but only reads up to about 14 Watts. I would like a similar dummy load meter with a digital meter that reads say 0-10, 0-100, and 0-1000 watts full scale. I like and use the Elecraft 500 watt amp and tuner, so 1000 watts full scale would be perfect.. Too much to ask for. 0-2000 would be acceptable if it had the 3 ranges. Definitely not single range analog meters like MFJ and Palstar have Anyone know of a product like this?

Have you looked at the Elecraft W2?

I have one. I like it, but I was thinking more of a test unit.
Dummy load with integral digital meter (digits preferred instead of LEDs).. To make one out of a W2 would require a W2, that after market KV5J digital readout or a computer, and the directional coupler. Lots of stuff and wires. But maybe if I found a stand alone digital wattmeter I could fasten it to a dummy load...that's a thought.

I use a Telepost LP100A with the sensor connected to a Bird dummy load.

I have a kW dummy load sitting under the operating desk, but it's not part of antenna switching, and I haven't used it in years. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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] |
