I havent purchased any MFJ stuff for years now.
Last time I purchased something I was not really happy with the
quality. Can anyone tell me if they have upgraded or is the stuff
still Mighty Fine Junk!

In my considerable experience, it's a mixed bag. I like my 993B
automatic tuner. I also like my 784B audio DSP filter. The 1026 noise
canceller came with a flaky connector for the whip but it does work as
advertised. The 931 artificial ground is a bit fragile and needed to be
repaired after getting it second hand (the wire had come off the
capacitor inside due to a cold solder joint breaking from shipping
vibration). And I LOVE my 259B analyzer. It has saved me lots of trouble
and trial and error.

I also have a nice little magnetic field strength indicator which is nice
for spotting antenna currents on house wiring and feedlines. I forget
the number and it's too far to run and look.

We used to use their basic keyer for commercial CW at Halifax Coast Guard
Radio during the last phase of Marine CW there. They weren't
complicated, had no fancy memories or anything, but worked day in and day
out.
