What's the SWR? Anything under 2:1 won't make a difference in
performance.
Using two 50 ohm dummy loads connected in parallel, either instrument
should show a 2:1 SWR.
Be sure the dummy loads are actually 50 ohms and not just labeled such.
I have one of those "gallon" type loads that measure 58 ohms cold and 64
ohms hot. The label on the bucket says "50 ohms".
A man with a watch will always know the time. A man with four watches
is never sure of the time.

I decided to do a spot check on SWR readings on my antenna with my KX3 after I
tuned it with a MFJ 259C. The results were different between the two devices.
The MFJ on the lower bands read a significantly higher SWR than the KX3.
I guess my question is which would you trust, the MFJ or the KX3? The reading
make a difference on how I will tune my antenna. Or do I need to get a third
meter in the mix and go 2 out of 3?
