Re: 50 ohm dummy load mod #dummyload #mods


 

Hi Bryan

It should be simple to add such a jumper to any dummy load, or to make your own dummy load with the jumper.?

Just look at the PCB layout and choose a place to cut.? You mentioned the QRPLabs D/L, but this would be the same task for any of the?usual kit style QRP D/Ls with 20 of 1K resistors. ?

If the D/L has a solid ground plane for positive and a solid ground plane for ground (as I believe the QRPLabs does), you'll have some dremel work to do.? Should be?simple for you to figure out where to cut, given that you had to pass a real ham exam for your ticket.

Maybe a dumb question, but Is it possible to add a temporary jumper to the qrp labs dummy load in order to make a 100 ohm load?. This would be handy for calibrating an swr meter reflected value.
