    Works well, I pushed it to around 350 watts and it works great. No issues at all.

    I used it to check out the feedline to my antennas.

    This dummy load was DOA (dead on arrival). I tested with an ohmmeter and then with a Nano VNA, it was open circuit. I took the case off and inspected it, and did some probing with the ohm meter, the actual big fat resistor was 51.5 ohms, which was within the specification, that was not the issue. The problem is that one end of the resistor clamp relies on a push fit contact with the aluminum case for the return earth path. Aluminum oxidizes to produce aluminum oxide (AL2 O3) with is an isolator, so there is an insulator between the 50 resistor and the case. Ive read other reviews where people have fixed it, well aluminum can oxidize in as little as 1 month so I would not trust that fix. Im not going to risk my $1000 transceiver on this piece of junk. This is a very poor design, has a fatal error and can only be fixed by installing a dedicated copper earth return wire back to the connector. So I guess its true what I read online MFJ = Mighty Fine Junk

    Good product at an affordable price. It does what I need for now. Might need something more robust down the line but for my current needs this does a fine job of protecting my transceiver as long as I dont exceed its capacity. Read the documentation online before purchasing.
