how do dummy loads work?

[mkruger]

if i want a power supply to think it's being drawn on... how do I make a "dummy laod".

I have a 2.5vdc power supply coming out of an antenna port and i need it to think it has a load attached to it so that antenna port will activate.

A power resistor on a heatsink?
