Some radios like the Futaba's I use as well as other brands and certain models have a removable frequency module which contains the crystal and RF circuitry. That allows you to change frequencies without having to send the tx in to a service center for a frequency change.
If your radio does not have this feature, then the advice about removing it is not valid for your situation. So if you can't turn off the tx output by pulling a module, you'll need to extend at least one section of your antenna to prevent the RF output circuitry in your tx from overheating which can possibly damage your tx.
Checking with the tx manufacturer for their recommendations about how to use your specific tx with a sim would be your best bet I think... [8D]

Thanks Zeeb. Just one more thing, this is a little off the sub but to change freq dont you just have to change crystals. Iv never heard of changing a hole module just to change freq. By changeing freq i meen changeing channels. or is there somthing im missing. Tony

My JR8103 has a channel module design. It will take modules that transmit on different channels. It will also take a module that has a channel dial capability. That module can be dialed to any channel.
The law in the US is that unlicensed people cannot change the crystal in a transmitter to change it's channel. If you've got the simple, crystal controlled channel radio, you can't change it's crystal legally. But if you have one like my JR8103, you can change the channel modules.
You can change the crystal of a receiver legally. But you cannot change the crystal of a transmitter.
And nowadays, things are changing with radio equipment to make legal channel changing easier. But you still can't change the crystal in a TX, but can in a RX.
