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.

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.
