Not quite perfect 50 ohms but close enough. SWR across most of the frequency range for extra class is 1.1 to 1. Reactants and inductance was pretty close to norm. It seems to work just fine. I would guess it's underrated in terms of power, that is you can hit it with more power than it is advertised for before it begins to get warm.

Quality made, some good mass to it, easy to mount.

I used the dummy load to set right the mic gain in my transceiver and it performed well. A good product.

I use this dummy load with a Midland MX 500 GMRS radio to periodically do various radio tests that require a dummy load. Using a Volt Ohm Meter mine measured 50.1 ohms statically, and it never became hot to touch during any of my normal radio testing. The load connector and cooling fins seem more than adequate for its intended purpose at GMRS radio frequencies. Its a good reliable value in my opinion.

very nice solid construction, beautiful design, and more important the performances are higher than expected.. on the VSWR image, the pink vertical lines show amateur bands where i will use it.. edit, second purchase for a SWR of 2.0 !! used with a "T" adaptor for to have a SWR of 2.0 (25 ohms) and now able of to verify all the "SWR Meters".. my nanoVNA show a SWR of 2.1 (146 MHz) from the radio in/out connection: the path is a short cable + SWR meter + antenna cable + "T" adapter + 2 dummy loads 50 ohms 50w.. tested at 45w (VHF at 146 MHz), only one VHF/UHF SWR meter (a rare "150w analog" type available here) give a better reading (SRW = 2.0) than any other "Digital" ones (who give a SWR < 1.5).. and this "Analog" one have, at least, adjustments.. note.. when you purchase a new SWR meter, to verify it, do this test..
