I see nothing wrong with MFJ. They serve the market reasonably well,
if they did not they would soon be out of business. If MFJ was
actually as bad as some of the posts you read, they would be out of
business rather soon. But they keep humming along.
Lets face it, hams are cheap. They like cheap stuff, even if it has a
few warts.
If MFJ raised their quality, and, of course, prices, accordingly (as
they would have to), you know what would happen? Another company would
soon spring up that looks a whole lot like the current incarnation of
MFJ. Why? Well, because hams are cheap. They buy cheap stuff. Warts
and all.
I have had problems with some of the MFJ stuff I have bought. I have
gotten reasonable service when I called or sent a message. Not super
fast service, but commensurate with the price paid. What else is
reasonable to expect?

IMO the only good news about the MFJ companies is the same as the most
common bad news -- CHEAP. Cheap construction, poor or non-existent
quality control, poor support. I consider them a very poor corporate
citizen, because their low prices push better products from better
companies out of the market. Little difference from what WalMart has
done to "main street" businesses.
