Well, you could build a "swamping pad", a resistive attenuator with a
dummy load. Run the Corsair at full power but set up the resistor values
so that 95% of the power goes into the dummy load and 5% goes to the
transverter. Kinda wasteful, but it will prevent you from overdriving
the transverter.

I have a 1208 transverter on the way to me, and I would like to use it with my
Corsair II. The issue I am concerned about is that one day I will forget to
turn down the drive to five watts and fry the transverter. I could drive it
with my OHR-500 QRP rig, but that limits me to CW only.
Is this going to be an issue, or can the transverter stand the higher power for a limited time? Any advice would be welcome.
