[TowerTalk] Ferrites 31 vs. 77 material

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

China can made very good products or garbage.  The deciding factor is 
who is paying them and what quality does that company desire in a 
product. My experience is with toys and molds.  You got what you paid 
for.  If you took the cheap route there were lots of QC issues.  They 
can build very good products but there is a price to be paid.    I 
believe Apple still has lots of things made China and Apple products are 
considered higher end.........
