[TowerTalk] [Bulk] DX Engineering Negatives

[Grant Saviers]

DX Eng provides good hardware and aluminum, but not providing schematics 
is a REAL problem.  My 4 sq receive is now useless with an intermittent 
noise problem.  Also, workmanship for an outdoor product was poor, flux 
left on boards, solder spatter on inductors, and lots of on he board 
gunk growth/corrosion after 2 years - the boards should be conformal 
coated.  I think this is originally a W8JI design, and when it worked it 
was great.  Not so now.

K3LR are you listening?
