[Dave Sublette]

I'm not trying to jump on the "down with MFJ" bandwagon, but I had an 
amusing incident with the fine folks at MFJ.  I stopped by to see them 
at their booth at a large hamfest to discuss a problem I was having with 
their 300 watt amp for two meters.  In spite of careful tweaking and 
adequate drive and power supply, I could only get 240 watts output, as 
measured on my Bird wattmeter, I asked the MFJ "engineer" on duty if 
that was within normal tolerances for manufacturing for this amp.  His 
reply was, "You can't trust those Bird wattmeters." I Quickly thanked 
him for his time and left.  I could see no reason to waste any more of 
my time.
