A study is made of the instability of lower hybrid waves in an isothermal magnetized current-carrying plasma. It is assumed that the dynamic suppression of the current instability is associated with the excitation of a quasi-monochromatic wave near the instability threshold and its subsequent decay into two strongly damped lower hybrid waves. It is shown that the decay process results in the onset of either a quasi-periodic or stochastic nonlinear stabilization regime involving a small number of modes. The anomalous resistance is estimated.
