Topband: MFJ-259B

[Joe Giacobello, K2XX]

  Bruce, I don't just what you're using for a dummy load, but I have a 
50 ohm resistor carefully mounted within a PL-259 to minimize lead 
lengths.  I get about  X=2.  It's likely a matter of lead inductance 
and/or just accuracy limitations of the instrument when measuring reactance.
