I'm hoping the smarter folks here can help me create some dummy loads with higher SWR's.
I'd like to do some temperature delta measurements without putting signals on the air since I want to include some high duty cycle scenarios at the typical 4-5 Watts outputs of my QMX's and QDX's.
?
I Googled this idea but only got hundreds of hits on the general topic of SWR.
?
Perhaps SWR's of just 2 and 3.
?
I think I should limit it to those values just because there is plenty of evidence that even short bursts of TX into very high SWRs or open loads is a generally bad idea without super fast protection built into the TX circuit chain.?
?
Thanks in advance,
