Byron,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news. It's not the service before the
sale that counts. They ALL do that in order for the greenbacks to
flow. Does not matter whether it's ham radio or automobile or fill in
the blank. Sales droids ALL think that their money is in your pocket.
I've heard some sweet songs and occasionally led myself down the
garden path, in addition to being flat out lied to or simply misled.
Good life lessons, unfortunately.
The real measure of a manufacturer is how they deal with this sort of
after the sale error. Not classy at all.
