I'm impressed.
I note the "reviews" (there are only two posted) are (1) unsigned and
unnamed and then (2) from Worldradio magazine, who accepts advertising from
Maxx-com. QST tossed them many years ago.
I plan to write a review on the new and improved Maxx-com, the one with the
magnets, diodes and gyroscope built-in, and will submit that to Field &
Stream, Playboy and other relevant journals.
