Administrator K3MRI Posted May 5, 2021 Administrator Share Posted May 5, 2021 Quote from Ham Census participant: Quote Don’t market what you cannot provide class A aftermarket support for. Do you agree? Are manufacturers putting out equipment but not providing sufficient support. Another participant agreed: Quote Make repair service more affordable and efficient. Thoughts?

KG6TGU Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 are you really wanting a manf to support there product? not just in ham radio, but most all other hobby's, and even a s&b home one can buy "new". the makers want you to just buy another unit with its way over priced costs. there is a term that goes something like this, "planed obsolescence". after dropping a grand or lots more on a radio, it should come with a life time (yours not the unit) worth of free support. if they built it right it would cost the manf/dealers nothing. except future sales to replace said. some parts are defective before even being placed in the radio, some are designed to fail in X number of years. on/off cycles.
