FWD: Re: [TowerTalk] Hy-Gain Rotators

[Jim Idelson]

Yes, Bill. the formula is correct. However, MFJs formula for manufacturing cost 
is very likely much more favorable than that of the old HyGain - due to the 
larger volume of other products they build. So, it is still possible that they 
can produce rotators of good quality at a more acceptable cost and offer them 
to the market at a reasonable price. I am going to be an optimist! Please join 
me! :-)

RE: 	 Re: [TowerTalk] Hy-Gain Rotators

Maybe I'm missing something here but didn't HyGain go out of business
because they couldn't make enough money?
Now I don't want to see prices go through the roof but somewhere in
Economics 101 I remember that if the cost of manufacturing exceeds the
revenues of the product than you either raise the cost of the product or
discontinue the product.

Do we want this happen again?
