Yeah, it's odd that they make stronger claims in the middle of the paper (e.g. "This clearly indicates that the “thrust” is not coming from the EMDrive but from some electromagnetic interaction.") than in the conclusion.

Why not just replace the magnetron with a resistor. That keeps the DC effects while removing the RF.

Nevermind, they are not using a magnetron like the original concept.

Oh, they did that in a previous emDrive experiment. It still produced the same thrust. They ignored it. This is par for the course with reactionless drive "research."

Yep. This is going to be the next cold fusion - the device will soon be debunked, but we will still be hearing about it from conspiracy theorists for decades.
