I grabbed a deal on ebunk last week which consisted of a Bird 43 with a 5w element and a dummy load. The dummy load is unmarked with n connector and rf test port.
I found one similar on ebay out of Australia with a little more info but nothing solid. They think this is a 100w/50w continuous good to 1.? ghz but is there any way to know for sure? Anyone here by chance have owned one of these?

Celwave is a well known for making a variety of commercial quality VHF / UHF / and microwave antenna products that also includes a special marine line. If you’re setting up a repeater, their duplexers, circulators etc. are considered among the best. All USA made.

The 8 dB pick off is approx. 16% of the total input power. I have a 2KW dummy load with a 20 dB pick off and get hooked up wrong at times wondering whats wrong NOW!
That's why the pick off connector is usually at BNC sometimes.
