It’s utterly depressing watching people fish out cash for an MFJ tuner these days. They still sell the things and they still command a stupid price for a thoroughly inferior device.
The two guys I know who still own them only do so because they are Sinophobes and MFJ stuff is (terribly) assembled in the US still.
- jes 5y agoIndeed. MFJ in the amateur radio community is called "Mighty Fine Junk" fairly often. I have purchased some things from MFJ, but I notice that I now avoid doing so unless I'm desperate.
- bdavis__ 5y agono one confuses gear from MFJ with "high quality". cheap stuff, that whets your appetite for the good stuff. and yes, i have an MFJ tuner and the 20 meter QRP rig they sell. it is a ford or a chevy, not a lexus or a mercedes. (both items were received with parts loose and had to have some re-assembly).
