Jim, I would have to work really hard to make your point any better than you
did.  I have two logikeyers and the rotor controller for my Tailtwister.
Both are superb products.  The amateur community needs to cut Bob and his
son as much slack as they need so they can keep the operation running and
producing very high quality products.

73,

Bill, N8BR

Good Grief, you guys!

It's a small business.   It's going through a transition, and it
underestimated
inventory requirements going into Dayton.    Big whoop.  You could do
better?

We've seen the response of the guy running it, and playing catch-up.
He was candid about the situation.

Why use the word "beware"?    Be aware of the situation, sure... but
beware?
That suggests something nefarious and dangerous, NEITHER of which
applies.

Do you wonder why small ham vendors don't last?

Do you wonder why MFJ offers low-cost stuff... some would say junk?

We are a small and specialized marketplace.   And we're cheap.
Why would anyone in their right mind invest in a product for this
market?
Certainly anyone observing this thread would be encouraged to look
elsewhere.

In the immortal words of Pogo,  "We have met the enemy, and they is us."

It's only a matter of time before we see one or more of the big 3
withdraw from the market.
