MP9100
Dont lure good people to smacks shops! Just DIY!

Unlikely to be useful above the LW to AM band.


On the contrary, I've measured some of the Caddock resistors similar
to those and they're quite useful to 2 meters and beyond. We were
using a 100-ohm 25 watt one in a Wilkinson combiner at 450MHz
successfully. YMMV, and as I wrote in this thread before, it does
help to have a reliable analyzer to test them with. Much more useful,
IMO, than a lot of the drivel that goes on here would be info on ways
to bootstrap yourself into some decent measurements. It can be done
with very inexpensive home-brew equipment, but it takes some thought
and careful construction.

Hi Tom,

Did you put the MP9100 against a heat sink? The large surface area,
thin construction for heat flow, bound on both sides by metal
clamping, a high dielectric constant, all point to a considerable
sized capacitor (I visualized a 0.01µFd ceramic cap).
