Alberto,
A dummy load is very useful to determine if your transceiver is operating like it should, or if the antenna has a problem. I have had one for many years. The first thing I do when I buy a used transceiver is connect it to a dummy load and try all bands for proper operation. I do the same when selling one. I have had mine for many years , identified problems with antennas, amps and transceivers and found it a very useful tool. If the transceiver, or amp loads just fine on a dummy load and won't on your antenna, then you need to check the antenna system. I would suggest that you look at this one for a good value. The wattage rating at peak is only a short period of time say with an amp. You can always reduce the power out on an amp to see if it performs on all bands. As for a 100 watt transceiver you can run full power as long as you want with this one. It's a very good value for the money
has been my experience.

if that's what you want.
