whats a cheap effective dummy load ..all i want it for is to check my swr meters so i guess it wouldnt have to be a high wattage one..
 

Learn something new every day. It doesn't get much cheaper than that!


If you decide to buy one, MFJ makes a very broadband 300 watt load for about $40
 
Yup most any name brand will do and you'll find tons of them cheap on egay but be warned make sure they listed as new so they're not been abused.

Hint on dry dummies is to not put more than 3/4's of the rated power into them as a safety measure so it may benefit a guy to purchase a larger one than really needed.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
