Are you shure that this dummy-load can withstand the output-power of the QMX (up to 5W!)?
It is also poor lab practice to use precision calibration kit standards as adapters or dummy loads.? They are precision instruments and should be given requisite care.??
10 watt 30dB attenuators are less than $20 on AMZN and likely stupidly cheap from China, they will work as a dummy load or attenuator.??

No ham station should be without a suitable dummy load, anyway, IMO.? Suitable meaning able to handle full output power for long enough to make meaningful measurements.
