Anyone know what are the average watts and what are the peak watts?** A: I don't know what the peak envelope power handling capability is but I presume they mean dead key power. Mine will easily handle the 50 watt GMRS radio I have. Short bursts to check power and swr at 50 watts seems fine. It doesn't even get warm **Q: Why is the swr showing on the surecom meter with this dummy load 1.7? why that high considering the swr is 1.2 on my antenna on the same frq** A: If you are using a jumper it could be the jumper. Check the dummy load with a ohm meter. It should read 50 ohms. In a perfect situation most dummy loads would read perfect swr of 1:1. But they are really only used for testing power anyway. **Q: When using this dummy load to test cb radio 27mhz what is the swr at 27mhz?** A: I did not check it specifically on the CB frequencies but at 144Mhz and 440Mhz it was less then the specified 1.2 to 1 VSWR. If you are seeing more than that I would suspect a defective dummy load or a problem with the radio or cables. **Q: Can it be used with a baofeng bf-f8hp handheld radio?** A: Yes, but you would need an adapter to get from the antenna connector on the radio to the connector on the Dummy Load. I believe the baofeng you are referring to had an SMA connector so you would need an adapter to get from there to the PL259 on the Dummy Load. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent dummy load *by J***O on 25 February 2025* I used the dummy load to set right the mic gain in my transceiver and it performed well.
