Default Swamping transmitter input to amp

Hi all,
I am attempting to amplify a newly acquired multi elmac transmitter with
a henry 2kw. The power of the elmac is too high and i have tried
swamping it with a 50ohm dummy load in parallel with the amp. This
helped but the input is still a little too high. Any suggestions? Is
there a combination of resistors that can be used? Thanks. ND4jS. J




Please note modern power resistors look a lot like transistors, and
frequently require heat sinks.
