There may be another way to do it but I simply turn the power to zero and
use a dummy load. Although the dummy load is probably not necessary, I
feel better about having it in place. Since no power is being transmitted, I
use a 2 watt 47 ohm resistor soldered into a PL-259 connector. Very
compact.
No one will hear you practice.
