[ct-user] Beware of Idiom Press

[William R Liporace]

Here is a message that I have been reluctant to print.  This is not to be 
a flaming message or a bad rap against them.  They sell a great keyer!!
About a month ago I bought the SUper CMOS Keyer III to replace the the 
version II that I gave away to a new ham who wanted to operate code.  A 
couple of weeks ago I decided to build the kit and start using it.  Well 
after a couple of hours I did not get it working.  I made some calls and 
e-mail contacts. I actually got the number for Idiom Press and left a 
message.  I got a call back from them and was told, "We do not make 
mistakes! It was not there problem!"  I was surpised. the next statement 
was " If I send them the chips they will test them for $5 and $10 to 
replace the chip.  
So for $55 I have a box of scrap and no keyer!  I have only been treated 
worse by one customer service rep, but his boss made the situation 
better. Idiom Press is only one person with an attitude that surprises 
me.  I have been thinking of posting his phone number despite his request 
not to.  I am thinking of writing letters to QST and CQ editors to let 
them beware.  I am also going to let the designers of the keyer know what 
kind of people are selling the keyer!!
So after all of this PLEASE BEWARE of IDIOM PRESS!!!!!!!
