MFJ Enterprises Original MFJ-260C Dummy Load, 300 Watt, 0-650 MHz, Dry

Works as expected.

This thing doesn’t work for me. It either has a loose connector or simply it’s crap. When I first connected it my radio, the radio wouldn’t tune. I then connected to an antenna analyzer and it should 16:1 SWR. i changed the cable, got same results. Tested with another Dummy load and I got 1.01:1 SWR. This thing is returning back. Not worth a penny.

Great product

This dummy load maintains perfect SWR in HF bands and being rated for 300w means its duty cycle capacity is great when paired with a 100w and below transceiver. There is a handy graph painted on the front side to help understand duty cycles in relationship with operating power, so you dont have to guess or calculate. Works great up in the VHF/UHF frequencies also but youll see SWR increase somewhat (not into dangerous levels). Also, do understand that, combined with the coax, this still forms a bit of an antenna system (albeit highly inefficient) so some RF will make it out. It should travel far enough to cause disruption but if youre in a city or suburbs, be mindful of this...especially if youre using it to test frequencies outside of your license class allowed bands. You may also want to pick open frequencies with no traffic and avoid those used by local repeaters and such. Other than that, a great dummy load at a decent price for its capabilities!

Used it for testing/tuning an FT-897D and FT-450D. Does the job.

Good cheap dummy load. It seems to radiate a little bit, however your not going to DX with the dummy load ha ha.

This came as a gift to my husband. He really likes it.

Nice small load works great for my needs in my hobby in CB repair my radios

Does what it is suppose to do

for what I need to do it works
