N9AA is exactly right. MFJ makes what hams need at prices they can pay.
There are often very good reasons that the companies MFJ buys are available
for sale. I agree with the observation that the equipment isn't built to
industrial-commercial standards. But how many of us could pay that price?
Not many and certainly not enough to make a company work, year after year.
Yes, MFJ quality often stumbles, but if that is all the ham market is
willing to pay for, I don't know what economic miracle would enable or, from
a strictly business standpoint, justify more. MFJ fills an important niche
in the amateur market and I am glad they do.
