Yes, truly sad indeed. But which is sadder. That it's happening or the attitude of model railroaders, "that's the way it is today and nothing can be done about it"?
Obviously if we as a hobby have come to accept such flawed products from manufacturers that's likely what they'll continue providing. After all, no need for them to improve QC when their marketplace willingly accepts a lack of it!
Good thing the model train inporters are not inporting high end ham radio rigs. Kenwood, Icom, Yaesu, and Alinco would be in a world of hurt if they had products like this. Or did not have a back up plans for service.
At least all of these do not have batteries which catch ��.
