When the company was at it's peak they seemed to be producing decent products.  I recall they made tuners and a few HF rigs.  The HF rigs were attractive radios not sure how well they worked you can see reviews here on Eham.  They did not impress me as being a CW operators rig.  I can't identify any recent ads in QST for their products.

Hi,

Their main business was not ham radio but marine SSB.  I think their only amateur radio specific item was the SG-2020 which I think was the baby of one of their ham employees.  They did sell a good amount of their external automatic antenna tuners, but those were already being made for marine use.

I suspect that the business might be tight now as there are a lot more factory trawlers and less small operators.  And of course competition from overseas manufacturers too.
