He was trying to sell the company. The scuttlebutt is he declined an offer from DX Engineering, which is a shame because that would've been perhaps the best match.

Indeed. DX Engineering is exactly what I would have thought as well. Half their catalog is MFJ.

As is half of any of the retailers' catalogs.

I'd like to see DXE acquire the Hy-Gain and Ameritron lines if possible.

I've not followed this closely to know if Martin wanted to sell everything as a single unit or had entertained offers for the individual brands he's acquired over the years. Hopefully if it was the former he'll now consider the latter.

There probably was an offer but I bet if you look at the books the price that was wanted was not what it was actually worth.
