MFJ 260C dummy load question
- Thread starter Cabover Bob
- Start date
Using an ohm meter ......
One lead to the center conductor, other lead to the outer conductor.
Should read 49 ~ 51 ohms .......
If it's too far out of range, will need to replace the resistor element inside. Which if you open it up, the big carbon element resistor should have an MFJ part number on it.
My MFJ 1500 watt dummy load does. I have replaced the resistor element in it once, about two years ago.

I'd open it anyway to make sure everything is snug inside. I received a brand new one that the clamp on one end was really loose. If anything just to be sure
I usually use a DMM but sometimes I use my AMM. Each has it's place. I prefer the AMM for continuity checks.
