John, 3rd Planet Solar, has a nice SMD dummy load kit in his catalog.
< >
It uses really large SMD resistors and even with shaky hands and less than optimum vision, it's easy to assemble.
Checking the SWR/RL with my MFJ-259C, it was essentially flat to 150 MHz, better than -28dB RL.
One mod I did was to add a "traditional" peak detector to the other outputs provided: 1N270 and 0.1 uF. Picture available.
I give it a 5 out of 5 stars.
