Softcomm panel mount intercom? Junk?

I know these are imported, but that's
not necessarily a knock anymore.

Imported? Last time I visited Softcomm (a stone's throw from my
tiedown at KCHD), I saw them being built on site.

Can't give you any info about the panel mount, but my 4 place
portable Softcomm has been working like new for the last 12 years. My
similarly aged Softcomm headsets are still working fine too. IMHO,
they make good quality products.

What a bunch of jerks. You ask for a product review and precede it with a
prejudice that the product is junk. You all deserve what you get from this
sort of post.

Softcomm is not junk.
Nobody who sells intercoms sells junk.

Every design has its good points and its bad points. Designs are a
compromise to emphasize one point over another. You don't like this design?
Buy another one.

Junk we aren't.

Jeez guy, give me a break. With the price of intercoms all over the
map I'm trying to get a feel for what I'm giving up if I opt for
something like the Softcomm as opposed to say a PSE or NAT for 3 times
the cost - or do I strike a compromise for something in the middle. As
a new owner I have have little frame of reference here and I can't
really go down to Best Buy and check them all out.
So before I buy the thing, then pay twice that to have it installed,
I'm just trying to get as much info as I can to make whatever kind of
informed decision I can.

I didn't say they were junk, just asking if they are because they are
so much cheaper than some of the other ones and if the adage about
getting what you pay for is true in this case, then t'm trying to get a
feel for what I'm giving up.

Just curious why instead of going off, you didn't take the opportunity
recommend your product..?

Because I try my level best to give my best impartial technical advice in
the newsgroups and stay away from pimping my products.

RST,

Well, I count three replies, of which two judge the Softcomm to be fine,
while one says it is junk. What's your problem?
