---What's in a company? ---
In 5 years MFJ will run anything and everything outside the manufacturing of
HF radios. Now profit in it for them. They just want to sell accessories
anyway.
So what's left? Teeny tiny companies, run out of garages, backrooms, dens,
etc. Like Idiom press. Their biggest competition ( Idiom PULL ) is already
out of business due to lack of interest. Heck, look at TENTEC?  They sell
gronesteels and make a few ham radios on the side. Just about anything you
can buy for this hobby is someone else's afterthought.  It makes you want to
take up a new, up and coming hobby like bowling.  - Mike

I'm amazed that people accept poor service and continue to buy from 
companies that are unresponsive.

With all of the bad press they've gotten here on TowerTalk and also on
eHam for the last three years running at least, I'm amazed they haven't
cleaned up their act.  Needlessly irritating your customers is a really
stupid thing to do ... unless maybe hams really aren't their customers
anyway.

Sounds like an opportunity for someone who is willing to come up with
alternative products for the Idiom Press line.  The easiest success
story in business is to figure out a way to serve an existing market
better.   Sounds like a slam dunk in this case.

Only a little bit tongue in cheek ...
