I had toyed with the idea of an attenuator, but those are pretty expensive. I might give the dummy load a try. Thanks for the tip. Sounds like a good way to go for me regardless. On Thu Feb 12 2015 at 8:24:43 PM Greg <gregerk@centurytel.net> wrote:

An inexpensive 15 watt dummy load on my 5 watt node radio provides good handheld coverage around the house without having to worry about legalities. An in-line antenna switch allows me to switch from the dummy load to a roof-top antenna for the few times when more range is needed.
