Couple of dummy loads put together with 50 ohm 250W resistors. That should more than do me until I want to test more than 100W out of a PA! #hamradio#amateurradio
@jpm Grasshopper... THIS is chonk. 100% duty cycle 500W, 80% at 1kW, 50% at 2kW. DC-2.5Ghz, flat. It weighs 9.5kg/21lb. I stole it for $150 from ARNSW disposals but someone parted with $USD2000 for it once upon a time.
@shuttersparks It actually does get hot enough to warm the room but my IC-2KL "500W" (can do 900W PEP safely) amp & pwr sply get hotter driving the load at 500W @jpm@vk2gpu
