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

it sits there and does what its supposed to do and not blow up

This works perfectly. I was surprised it was as small as it is. And very light as well.

Perfectly meet my requirements.

This dummy load performs well and I use it whenever I am on the air with a Collins 32S-3 running 150 watts CW or a Yaesu FT-101B. I switch it in with an MFJ-1700B multi-port transmitter/antenna switch and its been functioning perfectly for almost a year. I installed it, put it under the operating desk and never had to look at it again - and thats the way it should be. NOTE: This dummy load is labeled as 300 watts and the derating curve gives it 60 seconds at 300 watts on a continuous duty cycle. When I use it for tuning it heats pretty well in under a minute with only a few continuous seconds at any time (I would estimate a 30% duty cycle). Sometimes this is a short time to tune-up old technology tube equipment like the Collins. This dummy load can do a max of three minutes at 25 watts continuous so the rating probably should be closer to 100 watts where the derating curve shows about 90 seconds of a continuous duty cycle. Whatever. Its a great accessory and I wish more people would use it to tune up before going on the air.

Very useful

...and this Dummy Load is no exception. I have found, throughout my Ham Radio years, that there is frequently a more-expensive option to MFJ equipment; however no better values (than those offered by MFJ) come to mind.

to make adjustments to my radio

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

Well made and good quality. Works as it should.

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