For the life of me I don't understand this heartburn you have for Amidon.

Because the invented part number prevents hams from knowing what these products are, prevented them from buying from industrial sources. They were presented as Amidon parts, and many hams still believe that they are. One of my contributions to ham radio has been to take the mystery out of it. Some of the real part numbers are in the Handbook, and have been on my website for more than ten years. As a result, hams can buy these parts from other vendors, including some ham vendors, at far smaller markups.

When I'm buying a spark plug, I know it's a spark plug and what it does, and I can run down to the store and buy them.
