Description: Here you see a set of four resistors, each inside a PL259 plug for the purpose of tattling on your SWR meter. Most SWR meters do not have a way to calibrate the accuracy of a SWR reading. These four resistor values include 24 ohms, to see if your meter accurately shows a two-to-one mismatch. A 50-ohm that should show one-to-one, a 100 ohm for two-to-one above 50 ohms, and a 150 ohm for three-to-one SWR. This one can also be used to calibrate the antenna warning light found on some mobile CB transceivers. The resistors are rated at 5 Watts, so a 4-Watt carrier from the radio won't hurt it in the time it takes to select "Cal", turn the knob, switch to "SWR" and read the meter. They are not all-day dummy loads, but should withstand a 4 Watt carrier longer than you'll need to find out if your meter is lying to you. Yes, a fancier frequency-compensated bidirectional RF wattmeter will have a compensation trimmer capacitor that sets the meter for minimum reflected reading at 50 ohms. This set of loads is for the simpler SWR meters commonly used with a CB transceiver. Yes, you could save a bundle by purchasing the resistors from Mouser or Newark and installing them each in a PL259. Feel free. What we are selling here is convenience, not just parts. Why doesn't this set include a 16 ohm version, to read three-to-one below 50 ohms? I worry about people damaging fragile IRF520 MOSFET final transistors. They become strained at low impedances. Don't need the grief of a buyer blowing his transmitter and blaming me. There are NO RETURNS AT ALL FOR ANY REASON OF ANY KIND!No matter how good they sound. We ship no later than the second business day following receipt of cleared payment. I prefer USPS. It's been VERY reliable and comes with tracking. I will insure it for the final sale price. IF YOU PREFER A DIFFERENT **USA ONLY** SHIPPING METHOD, CONTACT ME **BEFORE** YOU PAY! I will prepare a quote for the method you specify and send you an invoice for the corrected amount. This option is available to USA destinations ONLY! !!!! NOTE !!!!Shipping to destinations outside the US are by the Ebay GSP or Global Shipping Program. How much that will cost you is anybody's guess. Ask Ebay if you want to know. Maybe they'll tell you. They won't tell me. Maybe they should rename the "GSP" the "Global Secret Program". GSP ONLY!! GSP ONLY!! GSP ONLY!! No, I will NOT ship direct if you are outside the USA and its colonies. GSP ONLY!! GSP ONLY!! GSP ONLY!! If you know what it is and what it's for, you can decide if you want or need it. And if you don't know what it is, you probably don't need it. Trust me on this. All routine Ebay precautions apply. Scammers take your nonsense elsewhere. Please. Thanks for looking!
