PALSTAR DL5K 5000 Watt Dummy Load

Price: $399.00

The word is spreading about Palstar’s unique, high-end amateur radio products. Carrying on in the Palstar tradition for products of the highest quality designed by Hams for Hams. The DL5K 5000 Watt dummy load is no exception.



The DL5K is the next generation dummy load. Like the DL2K, it was born out of the need for a dummy load that allows for more time to tune your amp at high power. Most dummy loads can't handle the real world power load needed by Ham operators. The solution Palstar came up with is the DL5K which can handle 5000W for up to 0.5 minutes. Aware of over-heating problems found in other dummy loads, the DL5K is fan-cooled to prevent burn-out.

One eHam.net user wrote: “The DL5K is a simple yet rugged design. 2 massive 100 ohm resistors chew the kilowatts away. When the 2 fans kick in, the dummy load screams like a jetliner taking off...buy it, you will not regret it.” - PA3DUV
