[TenTec] 1208 Transverter

[Bwana Bob]

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.
