[Amps] MFJ and Dahl

[Ward Silver]

N9AA is exactly right.  MFJ makes what hams need at prices they can pay. 
There are often very good reasons that the companies MFJ buys are available 
for sale.  I agree with the observation that the equipment isn't built to 
industrial-commercial standards.  But how many of us could pay that price? 
Not many and certainly not enough to make a company work, year after year. 
Yes, MFJ quality often stumbles, but if that is all the ham market is 
willing to pay for, I don't know what economic miracle would enable or, from 
a strictly business standpoint, justify more.  MFJ fills an important niche 
in the amateur market and I am glad they do.
