Modulation Sciences Inc. Exits U.S. Market

Has the cp-803 ever been updated with newer caps or opamps or is it all the original design? Mr.Small got kinda huffy when i mentioned it had distortion in it.Maybe the one i was using needs updating.Wasn't there a well known NY eng who thought the OL led was for operating level?(lol)
 
Many, if not most of their products are aimed at analog. Their TV product line is mostly analog. We don't have analog TV here.
Perhaps they need to rethink their product line.
 
Yes. It's sad to see them not re-invent themselves. They should have embraced things like RDS encoding and decoding and modulation monitors... stuff like that. Companies like Telos-Omnia are great examples of how to survive in today's enviroment. You HAVE to be innovative yet build stuff people need and want. If you're stuck in the past, you'll get run over.
 
Reinventing one's product line or company is a phenomenal undertaking. I agree that it has to be done if companies are to survive, but we've been at it since 2004 and it's not for the faint of heart, that's for sure.
 
Spending 20 years on the station side, you don't realize what goes in to even the smallest changes in a product. Now that I'm on the manufacturing side... even a software revision means manual updates, possible schematic updates if it includes hardware changes, testing, updating items in the field, feedback from unforeseen issues (you stop finding software bugs when you stop looking), backwards compatibility, users who liked the old way/version...

In the end it's about quality control, a good product, delivering what you promise (and never promise what you can't deliver), smart revisions/changes that benefit the MAJORITY of users and trying to keep control of as much of the manufacturing aspect as you can to eliminate potential logistics issues (which leads back to control over the other issues).

Oh yes!

It's fun, isn't it ;)

Wait a minute. This company is based somewhere in New Jersey. So they'll still be making their boxes HERE in the USA but not selling them here, even if I write to the factory and ask them to sell me one, cash on the barrel-head? (I'm thinking something like the "Sidekick" SCA gennie) That makes no sense. ??? :p
 
So call them with an accent and have them send the box to a friend SFMPrtgal could help - and let the friend send it back. Seems easy enough.
 
I'm guessing they are discontinuing anything that's US-only standard. If it works here still and will work in 3rd worlds too, so be it. I'm sure they'd gladly take anyone's money but they just aren't building stuff for the US-only anymore.
