That's a very fine dummy load for general HF uses, but I would not want to make the frequency response any worse especially for calibrating the SWR meter.
The method I used (posted on 22 Sep) is

Relative performance would be useful, as long as typical performance is added to the Assembly Instructions or Operating Manual.? It would show obvious mistakes:

Check for a short between the left encoder body and the back of the power socket. It's a very tight clearance. I had to move my power jack out as far as I could and also filed the encoder body for

Dear Philip,
thank you. I removed the screw. No change. Still a short. Annoying. I am now abroad for a week.

Check the screw that holds the BS170s, there is a 5 volt track under it.

Hi, my QMX does not start. When I disconnect all four boards (2x PS, 1x LCD, 1x controls) I measure about 1 Ohm from VDD to ground. Accordingly, a high current is drawn. I applied 1V and at 500 mA I
