A real world data point:
I recently ordered two MFJ 17 ft telescoping masts, which arrived today. Not exactly high tech. One of them was defective - a section that was jammed and would not come apart, along with an adjacent joint that felt way too loose. HRO had me ship it back to them, and I'm sure they will replace it with a good one. But I've wasted $7 bucks to mail it back, plus time going to and waiting at the post office. Fortunately I don't need it right away. But definitely a example of poor quality control. 73 - Jim K8MR -----Original Message----- From: Jim Brown <j...@audiosystemsgroup.com> To: elecraft <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Mon, Dec 15, 2014 8:59 pm Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Blown trap?

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. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
