[SixClub] LOUSY MFJ RESPONSE

[Howard Bingham]

A local store in Houston, Tx. (EPO Electronic Parts Outlet), is 
selling out their existing MFJ inventory, some of those with 
batteries no longer work & will need a new battery if purchased.

I had a 6M tuner that never worked right, diagnosis (By MFJ), given 
result of several suggested tests, was bad diodes, so the store 
refunded my FULL purchase price & returned it to MFJ (Don't know if 
MFJ refunded the $$$, but won't bother me.)

I have purchased an antenna from them with a duplexer, neither has 
worked correctly from square one, so may use the "all band" antenna 
as a scanner or world band receiver, rather than trying to screw 
around with it (An internal connection failed on the duplexer, so 
have returned that & got money back, am considering sending the 
all-band "Rough-Rider" antenna back too, if it doesn't work out for 
receiving purposes & cough up for the high priced brand name version..
