[TowerTalk] MFJ repairs

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

I don't know who is running things in Starkville but they really need 
help.  I got a reply from the finally and they said they found my 
"tuner."  Problem is I never sent them a tuner. They also said that my 
RCS-12 was found to have salt in the coax connector which they cleaned 
and tested.  Problem with that is the RCS-12 does not have any coax 
connectors and is an inside to shack control box. Certainly they should 
have someone there who knows what is going on. I am about to just call 
it quits with MFJ and buy from more knowledgeable vendors. No customer 
should be required to go through this madness.

We have found the RCS-12. Mike says that during his conversation with 
you, it was sent down to the engineer. We found the information showing 
that it had been shipped. We have left a message with the engineer and 
are waiting for him to call back and let us know what he has found with it.

Best regards,

The engineer has determined the problem. You will need to replace your 
coax as it is full of salt water. He found residue of salt on the coax 
connector that was causing the problems. He removed the connector and 
cleaned it and the problem went away. The switch that you currently have 
with you, you can take the coax connector off of it and soak it in 
rubbing alcohol to dissolve the salt out of it, and it will be fine. 
Again, you will need to replace your coax and take steps to prevent this 
issue again.

The engineer is sending your switch back to us. when we get it, we will 
send it back to you.

Best regards,
