MFJ makes a bunch of different ones.


Not a big mfj fan...


I've had surprisingly good luck with them. *The few "little black
boxes" I've purchased from them have given me years of mostly trouble-
free good performance.


You're allowed to try to fix them; even if you destroy it in the process
you don't void the warranty. You can call the guy who designs the ****
and ask him questions (try doing that with Kenwood).

Man, if MFJ had been around when I was a kid my whole life would've
turned out different. They make some cost-effective fun stuff.


The variable conrols they used were of dubious quality . Never seen
such low grade potentiometers ever, must be from the bottom of the
barrel . Had their dual time zone clock (2 side by side) where both of
them lost time immediately irrespect of the other ... Just hope they
improved their QC, had very bad experience with M-F-J in the past ...
