Bravo, Tom. I know you will probably get a lot of flak from people who
claim you're just fronting for MFJ, but what you say makes the best kind of
sense. The folks I know who sell to hams roll their eyes at the ways we
make their lives difficult, but all welcome rationally-put suggestions for
improving the way they do business.
I will never forget, a good many years ago, having a problem building MFJ's
first audio filter into a transceiver. I called and the phone was answered
by MFJ himself. We can't expect that to be the case today, but I share
your belief that he's still listening.
