There appears to be a resolution to my issue. "Hi Michael, As it turns out the wrong model(VHF/UHF) circuit board was mistakenly installed in your HF MCA108M. It has been replaced with the appropriate HF circuit board, tested and is going the be shipped back to you today via UPS next day air."

Forgot to update my last post. The returned MCA108M has functioned flawlessly since its return. Woohoo!

Does anyone have any experience as of late 2025? Is Son managing to handle this? I am also not receiving any responses, just like the rest of you.

Since you're the first one to comment in 14-months, I'd venture to say 'no news, is good news'. Business communications must've at least been okay-ish since nobody else has commented. You don't mention how long you've been trying to contact them, but given that we're within a week from Christmas, they may already be OOT.

I do not buy any more from them. Now just from CrossCountryWireless.

Same/similar products?

I can say much better.

It's a shame that CCW stopped shipping to the US quite some time ago. I was always interested in their products but they always sold out as soon as Chris M. posted a new eBay listing showing some stock of one or more of his more popular items.

I think there was a reseller option for those in the USA but I don't recall the details.

Can you provide specifics on exactly which products you are referring to, and what makes them better?

Are we talking about dynamic range, linearity, noise floor, or something else?

Also, how exactly did you run these tests? Please share the test setup, including the instruments used and a clear description of the methodology.

Silence proves nothing. Many people also stayed silent for years about radioparts.com, and it turned out they were engaged in fraud and scamming customers. You can find the details by reviewing my threads on this forum.

Meanwhile, Chris has not replied for 13 days. Three emails were sent. In the last one, I clearly stated that I would prefer not to move to communication via a PayPal case, but it appears this may be the only option. Several people above have confirmed that they received their first response only after opening a PayPal case.

Ok. I'm not going to hype you up, or argue with you. Everyone's experiences and solutions are above, as you stated. Do what you feel you need to do. Good luck getting your issues resolved.

Hello everyone.

If anyone was curious about the status of my Stridsberg order, it was completed without any communication in less than 1.5 months, which included the New Year holidays. None of my four emails were answered, even though I sent them from two different email addresses. In the end, I simply received the package with the product, without any prior notice.

So ordering is possible; the business is still operating.

this also happened to me. I called and talked to a guy who said that they were behind and busy, he thanked me for my oeder and said it was shipping out that day.
This took place 2 years ago.

Since it's a small operation YMMV. I bought a four-way from him a couple years ago. Have bought a couple of eight-way units from Scanner Master with prompt delivery via UPS Ground

Placed an order with them in January of this year and received my order 3 weeks later. They also sent me an e-mail with the UPS tracking number when they shipped it. I spoke to them before placing the order through their website and asked for an estimated time to expect it and they replied they had 12 orders ahead of mine so it would be about 2 weeks. The fact that they are a small family operated business, and they told me how many orders were ahead of mine leads me to believe they build on demand which may be why some orders take longer than others.

Hi All,

After 2.5 years of the MCA208M/N sitting in the cupboard not working as my previous posts, I am curious to see if anyone here has found a tech that would able to repair this unit as per below scenario preferably in Australia?

Hi All,

I am in Australia and in the same boat - Ordered 22/06/2023, followed up asking for a shipping date on 05/07/2023 (as it had not been shipped or acknowledged), received the (MCA208M) about a week later. Was on holiday for 2 weeks and after plugging it in on my return, found it had no receive on any of the 8 outputs so emailed them asking what my options were hoping to work through the issue and not have to send it back, to which the ONLY response I have had was on 09/08/2023 advising that if i needed / wanted to return they would have to contact UPS and let me know - nothing heard.

Four additional emails have been sent requesting a response and as of this post I have had no reply from them at all.

Any advice would be appreciated as I am not here to complain, just state the facts and would like it resolved ASAP.

Cheers,

Mark.

Thank you.

I would contact the nearest radio amateur club. They usually have both knowledge, skill and equipment necessary to replace the SPF5189z that it probably uses.

Thank you.

I would try to contact Stridsberg and see if they're able to repair it.
