Re: Topband: HI-Z BACK IN BUSINESS
It seems strange to me that any company would advertise having legal troubles. Interesting strategy, to say the least. Good for them! Glad to see things back in action. Always thought they had good stuff.

Re: Topband: HI-Z BACK IN BUSINESS
I truely hope they are licensed and continue to sell their own design. Because of all of this I have personally made it a point not to do business with PDS Electronics. The owner has a history of this type of action. Just a personal thing...

Be interesting to see how the new design and pricing compare with the old and DX-Engineering's version. 73 Steve - N1SR On 5/31/2012 11:05, Guy Olinger K2AV wrote: They have not removed the Legal Troubles banner from their web page yet. 73, Guy On Thu, May 31, 2012 at 10:58 AM, Larry Emeryk...@uninet.net wrote: According to the latest Newsletter dated May30 2012 Hi-Z is back in business for good and taking orders!

Re: Topband: HI-Z BACK IN BUSINESS
Today's trial lawyers are not sleeping dogs but hungry predators. You let them rest and you will be their next meal. You see their ads on TV every hour willing to litigate on everything imaginable. Who pays for this? We do...the consumer gets intercoursed so trial lawyers get rich and famous. Now lets ratchet back to the 50's and 60's when two superb individuals, both were hams, and both were in the same business making broadcast transmitters and also selling systems to the military. They were competitors, both in the Midwest with operations a few hundred miles apart. I knew both well (my office was just across the hall from one of them (Parker Gates) in Quincy, Illinois and the other Art Collins I new when I lived down the road from Cedar Rapids in Iowa City where I was first licensed in 1954. On Saturday mornings Art Collins would open up his warehouse and sell first class comopnents to hams for next to nothing like 4CX250B's for a quarter if they had a bent fin or any other cosmetic imperfection. They would never ever think of suing each other for patent infringement and only argued over a round of golf at the club house. What ever happened to this wonderful Midwestern ethic of friendship and trust? These were two giants in the radio industry who never fought brutal wars like Thomas Edison and Nicoli Tesla or engaged in the corporate warfare that caused Major Edwin Armstrong (inventor of FM Radio) to jump from a NYC high rise because David Sarnoff had political friends that for a time blocking his wonderful inventions. The big three out of Detroit did the same thing to automotive genius Preston Tucker using political power to squash a better idea in building cars. Like they say when elephants fight the grass gets trampled and in our case we all lose and we all have to pay in some manner for this corporate warfare. What a shame.

Because they may be in business with 1 hand tied behind their back. Or they might have to raise prices to cover licensing. Or they might be prevented from making product improvements. Etc.
