Update on the suspected loading problem with the Dentron MLA-2500 amp.

As suggested by so many I loaded the amp up using a non-inductive dummy load. 

Using the dummy load the loading cap is loading as one would expect it to with an 'expected' deviation from fully meshed. The only band the amp loads with full mesh is the 75/80 meter band, don't know about the 160. 

Also the output efficiency  of the amp has increased by about 200 watts on the other bands...well Duh..it should have...

Thanks for the comments and suggestions.
