The NorCal Dummy Load is the perfect kit to use to train yourself to work
with surface mount parts. It is cheap, and has lots of similar operations
so you can really get the hang of working with surface mount parts. We hear
comments all the time from people who have never worked with surface mount
parts that it is a lot easier than they thought it would be, and some even
prefer smt to through hole parts. Plus, when you finish the kit, you have
a neat QRP Dummy Load for your shack that you can be proud to own and show
off to your friends at the next club meeting. Take a look at the manual
here on the site, and see for yourself how easy it is to work with SMT
parts. If you have held off buying some of the new kits with SMT parts, now
you can try it for a very small investment. The kit includes 44 smt
resistors plus 5 or 6 extras, a .01 uF smt capacitor, a 1N5711 diode, and a
board mounted bnc connector. Plus a NorCal quality pcb, that is
silkscreened and soldermasked and through hole plated. Exactly what you
have come to expect in a NorCal kit. And the manual is outstanding. Bob
Okas, W3CD, who designed the kit for us has done a wonderful job with the
manual, taking you through all the steps needed to be successful the first
time!!
