I could load nearly anything and, most importantly, I could drive all my RF amps to full output without having to [...] Are the Chinese even capable of manufacturing products suitable for consumption by the west. Seems each week or so we find something that came from China that is tainted, poisoned, counterfeited, or otherwise unsuitable for use. It is not just by accident that quality seems missing in Chinese products.
