I bought an MFJ-269 from KC7SLO in September last year. When it arrived, I
tested it and found that the UHF portion did not display the correct SWR. I tested it with 3 different UHF antennas. It works fine everywhere else. The problem was that although on the air tests with the antennas all showed them with low SWR in the proper frequency ranges, the analyzer told me on every one that they all had wavy SWR patterns. For example: 415mhz 1.7, 420mhz 2.5, 423mhz 1.2, 431 2.1, etc... It was obvious that the analyzer was displaying the wrong SWR on every antenna. I emailed Scott and he said he would help pay for the repair expenses since it didn't seem to have been damaged in shipment, but actually not working 100% when sold. He never came through with any help on the expenses even after several emails. I was finally able to mail it to MFJ about a month after receiving it. MFJ claimed to have fixed it, I paid the repair costs and they mailed it back to me. It arrived and STILL didn't work right, even though several parts were listed as being replaced. I called them and they offered to have it shipped back and looked at again at no expense to me. I did this. They recieved it on 1/21/2004 and I received it back yesterday. It STILL doesn't work, dispite the fact that they claim 2 diodes were replaced. Now I'm waiting from my repair guy to come into work and I'm going to ask him what the next step is. Anyone else have an experience like this!? I basically have an MFJ-259 because the UHF doesn't work, even though I paid for an MFJ-269! |
