Re: Dummy Load Resistors - 1 pound sack
Hi Bill it's true ! never skimp on such useful and simple tools! But ... if you want to build this accessory too, use suitable resistors built for RF, today you can find new ones for a few dollars !!!

Re: Dummy Load Resistors - 1 pound sack
Hi, Even though I have only 100 watt output class transmitters as my biggest guns here I have almost never run more than 75 watts. Several of my transmitters will not put out even close to 100 watts

Re: Dummy Load Resistors
Careful! Al and I experimented with 500W units, putting only 100W into it. Within a few seconds, the top half of the resistor went into low-earth orbit. Even at 1/10 the rated output, you need a

Re: Dummy Load Resistors
Yes, you can.? MFJ sells a "cantenna" type of dummy load and teardown on it stated that the resistor looked the same as the one in the dry dummy load. https://mfjenterprises.com/products/mfj-250

Re: Dummy Load Resistors
You need a pretty serious heat sink to dissipate 500W though! I'm planning to try doing a 100W one with a leftover CPU cooler to get rid of the heat. That should give me a relatively compact dummy

Re: Dummy Load Resistors
I wondered the same thing IF I got the MFJ dry dummy load. I don't see any reason why you can't but it might get messy. If I did it, I'm place the dummy load into the container of oil vertically and

Re: Dummy Load Resistors
This is a little off the topic but I have a 100 watt dry load from MFJ. Can I submerge it in mineral oil to help it handle it¡¯s rated input for longer? Or should I build a new load? I could also
