$36.95Product description
Protect your investment and maintain a clean signal on the bands with the Intellitron DL-1501, the essential diagnostic tool for every serious amateur radio operator. Whether you’re bench-testing a new HF rig, calibrating an amplifier, or troubleshooting an antenna tuner, the DL-1501 provides a rock-solid, non-radiating 50-ohm load. Compact enough to disappear into a POTA go-bag yet robust enough for daily shack duty, this dry dummy load ensures you can tune up without causing unnecessary interference (QRM) to your fellow hams.
Precision Testing Without the Mess
The Intellitron DL-1501 is engineered for operators who value efficiency and portability. Unlike traditional oil-filled “cantennas” that are bulky and prone to leaks, the DL-1501 utilizes a dry, air-cooled design that requires zero maintenance. It features a wide frequency response from DC to 500 MHz, making it a versatile asset for everything from 160-meter HF through the 70cm UHF bands.
With a 100W peak power rating, it is the perfect companion for standard 100-watt transceivers during short-duration testing and tuning. The integrated PL-259 connector allows for a direct, secure connection to your radio or SWR meter without the need for additional jumpers or adapters. Its exceptionally low VSWR (typically less than 1.15:1) simulates a near-perfect antenna system, giving you the confidence that your transmitter’s protection circuitry won’t throttle back your power during critical measurements.
