I usually stay well away from these, but in this case:

Bout 5 or 6 years back ...maybe a bit more, I went round and round with 
MFJ. Never did get anything changed.
OTOH when I had the problem with the HyGain AV640, I sent them an e-mail 
with a few questions.  It took about a week to get an answer with them 
actually calling me.  They were very helpful with suggestions, and service.
