I found a wet dummy load the other day, a simple 1 gallon bucket with Rf connector. No markings or numbers.
I really do not want to open the thing and make a mess.
Question is, if I transmit into the load, should the SWR read a perfect match of 1:1 ratio. It should not reflect power back to the transmitter. Is this correct?
I would assume the impedance of this load is 50ohms, but could be wrong. It was used at a now decomissioned AT&T telephone microwave hop so it could be 75ohm or some other strangeness.
