[Icom] IC-706MKiiG vs. FT-100D

Wed, 15 May 2002 19:47:27 -0700

There is a big difference between a quality control problem and defective
parts that show up YEARS later.

Quality control refers to:

Does it work out of the box (off the assembly line)?
Do ALL of them work out of the box (off the assembly line) ?
What is the warrantee return rate ?

My guess it was pretty small rate of warrantee problems if any.

Bottom line, the quality control was GREAT!

If you want to talk quality control, you need to analyze what is analyzed
when quality control is analyzed!
