What have you bought from MFJ?

259B SWR Analyzer, 1112 DC rail, 4724 TRX/ANT switch with remote control.

The 300 watt versa tuner utilized an inductor selector switch which
had too low voltage rating. I have recently repaired one for a friend
to replace the switch. This was a design flaw, and not a QC problem.

I have had an MFJ 259B for 10 years and have about worn it out. Had
to replace the coax connector, and the on-off switch, but it keeps on
truckin. It did not suffer from a QC problem.

As for the other products you mention, I have no experience. I have
bought a number of other products, and all I can say is you get what
you pay for.
