As for the "meaningless dial markings" on tuners, If you know the
capacitance to start with then it seems to me that "5" would be 50 percent,
2.5 would be 25 percent, and so on.  To incorporate the circuitry to allow
you to see the actual capacitance would likely make tuners far more
expensive than they already are. That's my two cents.

Because not everyone needs a multi-KW antenna tuner.

And I'm sure many (myself included) find the metering quite handy, to
know where to set the controls.  1 box is easier than 2 or 3.

And some like auto-tuners.

(BTW, I don't own an MFJ tuner.)

Part of what distinguishes MFJ is the choices they offer, from cheap
basics for the penny pinchers, to something more substantial.  One
size doesn't fit all.  They'd lose a lot of business if they sold only
one tuner.

Do they really need so many antenna tuner models?  Doubtful.  Would
the tuners or the company be better if they dropped 90% of them?  Also
very doubtful.  They need to concentrate on quality control more,
whether they are shipping one product or hundreds.  I think that's the
bigger problem.  As in having employees whose sole job is overseeing
QC, and re-structuring how the assembly floor works.  They don't get
that by pruning their product line.

I don't really know much about MFJ, but in some respects I think they
still have the small company mentality, from Mr. Jue on down.  From
what little I've seen of them, the folks who assemble each product are
small teams, almost separate entities, even though the company has a
huge product line.  And neither size nor longevity equates to skill.
There's little reason to change how you do business, if you are making
a profit at it.

If the rumor of a possible buyout are true, perhaps Martin Jue is just
looking to retire.  He is 66 and has been running it for four decades.

Regards,
Andy

NO NO Jim that won't fly any longer. 20 years ago that was the excuse for 
them. They were new etc etc etc. It is now 20 years later and the same 
garbage is coming from Mississippi. Just because they have acquired 
Cushcraft and Hy Gain they haven't addressed the major problem with MFJ, 
they still produce garbage.
20 years ago I met Martin and thought he was an OK guy, I was in the 
Electronics industry then. I thought once he got his act together he would 
be a good solid business. Well it's now 20 years later and there has been no

change in that company.
Sorry to be so blunt but that's just the facts.

Come on gang lighten up.

MFJ is still a small company.  Martin Jue and Steve Pan (the management) are
trying to do a good job.  I am surprised that with all the acquisitions they
are able to keep up.

##  I find that hard to believe...after looking through the entire
mfj/ameritron catalog.....it's huge.  MFJ  has been around for a LONG
time.   How many decades does it take em..to 'figure it all out' ?
Why are they still selling crap, like  BN-86 baluns ?    If they improved 
just
some of the products..and dumped the rest, they would spend way less time
dealing with angry end users on the phone...and resulting warranty issues.
Think abt it.  Why would you want to offer 16 x diffrent types of ant tuners

?
Why not just make 1-3..that actually work ?   One simple tuner..minus the 
metering
is all anybody wants.  Nobody needs a dummy load, with a built in.. has been

wattmeter.
Just build one dummy load, sans metering.



I sold an MFJ tuner to a fellow in Memphis and UPS put a forklift through
the box and KOed the meter.  MFJ fixed that I sent the tuner back to the
fellow in two weeks.  I helped a fellow overseas get parts for his TH-11
which he got very quickly.

Compared to Mosley and Idiom Press they run a good ship.

##  IMO,   Mosley has no clue whatsoever, about how to build an antenna,
any antenna.  Mosley still drones on about.."establishing resonance".... and
'52 ohms'.    Equal spaced monobanders went the way of the do-do bird back 
in the
late 80's.    How mosley and wilson managed to build hair pin / matching 
networks,
that work on 20-15-10m is beyond me.   The secret of course, is the trap's 
used have
such a high R  component to em.. that when added to the  feedpoint Z, they 
end up
closer to 50 ohms..and it's one big fudge.....swr wise.

##  ever seen a 175 lb Telrex  20m yagi ?    6 x equal spaced els on a 46' 
boom.   They
didn't......'get it'  either....and went outa business.  That mystery black 
[sealed] black balun
box that telrex built for their tribanders is a real hoot...... after you 
cut one open with a
band saw.   You will gag.

Later... Jim   VE7RF

Another complaint about tuner offerings:

All of them use meaningless dial markings e.g. 1 to 10, with some
intermediate markings. The actual range is known e.g. 20-300 pf and would
benefit everyone interested in understanding what is happening.

Sometime additional capacitance is switched in addition but it would still
be useful to the amount of variable capacitance.

But as was mentioned, if the manufacturer is selling as is, why change?

Mal,

I don't understand your hostility against MFJ???

I have had many dealings with them and Hy-Gain and they
were always responsive and very helpful!!

As far as product quality, I'm sure that they cut corners in order
to produce a cost effective product line but they do correct any
problems, you may have, quickly and at their expense.....

They're not the Cadillac of our hobby but they sure are the Chevrolet..

A Chevrolet Corvette is in my garage and they are nowhere close to it! I
have NEVER, I repeat NEVER bought an MFJ product EVER
that I didn't have an issue with. EVER. That's the facts.

I blame it on myself for giving them chances of which now I would never do
again. I wouldn't order a screw from them. Did I say NEVER?

They have NO response, NO quality, NO customer service. No hostility, just
facts.
