[Icom] MFJ

[W8OKN]

I've purchased a few items from MFJ over the years, too.  The last item I
bought was a tuner.  When it arrived, it had a bad solder joint, and was a
very easy fix.  Since then, the thing has worked very well.  Luckily, MFJ
items are usually simpler pieces of equipment.  All in all, I'd say that MFJ
has done a good job of providing inexpensive ham equipment.
