Despite its high price and snazzy interface, does it
provide
any
more
useful information then the tried-and-trusted
(transistorised!)
GDO?

That depends on whether or not you have the skills to
utilize
the
information such devices provide.

Most of the hams I have seen with the MFJ do not have the
skills
to
really
use it and a simple swr meter would do just as well or beter
for
them.

That's a sad comment and contrary to my experience, though
most
of
the
hams I know are also engineers or technicians in real life.

professionals should take up another hobby ......

Why?

because they are a pain in the arse trying to lord it over
non-professionals trying to enjoy their hobby ...

You mean like when they disparage old wives tales that have been
passed
down from the days of spark but contradict the laws of physics?

yes...and boy do they love to make you feel small....

Sounds like sour grapes to me.

Most hams I know are eager to learn new things.

you mean fuel guru status? ...

I said what I meant.

Jim Pennino

Kowtow to a professional then? ...

I guess some people perfer to remain ignorant ****s.

Jim Pennino

nice professional attitude that ......

So your attitude is that people who have expended the time, money, and
effort to learn a subject should be ignored but it is proper to bow and
fawn over someone who's total credentials consist of being the son of
the Earl of Spithollow on Dorkchester?

like the big farmer? .....
