<p>I don't own any MFJ stuff, but my impression is that their
quality level has not improved by much. That being said, they have
a huge product line of very useful ham radio accessories at prices
you can't find elsewhere. Given that hams are much more capable of
fixing defective products than the typical consumer, I'd say they
have a pretty interesting business model. Almost like
semi-Heathkits...<br>
</p>
<p>If Kenmore or Frigidaire had the same quality issues, they would
have gone out of business years ago. But like the EverReady bunny,
MFJ keeps on going!</p>
<p>So I'd say read the reviews to find out what usually breaks, and
be prepared to make the repairs yourself. Or pay more and avoid
the hassle. Your choice!</p>

Way back when, before the turn of the century 😎 we always called
MFJ "Mighty Fine Junk", as it was pretty low quality, not very
durable or reliable, and very inexpensive.

<div class="">Now that I'm getting back into Amateur Radio, I'm
noticing a lot of ads and some pretty good reviews for MFJ, did
they fix their quality issues and are now considered decent
quality, or did they just increase their ad budget? 🤷♂️</div>
