I am sorry to see MFJ go, but understand the reasons.

I did see an indication, earlier, that service for their products would 
continue, but have been unable to verify that.? No one answers their web 
query nor answer the phone.

Does anyone have any information about them continuing service or is 
there anyone out there who does or will provide service for their 
equipment, such as auto tuners, amplifiers and the like?

Jim the rumor is that DX Engineering will pick up the sales and manufacture of HYgain and Cushcraft.

Jim,
	This has been a topic of discussion over on QRZ.com in the 'Ham Radio Discussion' forum. According to several people, there is nobody there at MFJ anymore! Yet there continues to be advertisements for their equipment. Personally, I don't think I would purchase any 'high-ticket' items knowing there was nobody to stand behind the warranty or obtain parts. No word if any other negotiations are taking place for a buyer.

Mod-U-Lator,
Mike(y)/W3SLK

Agree Mike,

I am interested because I have an MFJ-998RT and like the tuner. Last 
spring, after the announcement, I had a hail storm that made a pinhole 
in the cover, allowing some water to seep in.? I decided to order a new 
cover earlier in the spring, and made several attempt to contact someone 
there, without success.? I managed to find the two pinholes and seal 
them with JB Weld, so am all right for now.

Their website is still active, so someone is there clearing the 
purchases and sending out the parts or equipment they had remaining.? I 
let the idea drop due to personal, family, matters but it crossed my 
mind this morning and though I would ask.? The tuner has really 
performed well for me and I would hate to see damage, either electrical 
or physical, that could not be repaired.

I, rarely, read QRZ and did not think to look over there. Thanks for the 
information guys,

Jim/ W5JO
