Of course it's a Baofe....oh wait what? Another company?

At least it looks like they're fighting Wouxun's crazy pricing.

 

i wont and refuse to buy chinese radios

 

Why? Just about everyone has a model Made in China now.

 

I agree! America is horrified by the civil rights violations committed in these factories in what is a communist country, the amount of smog and other pollutents that travel along the jetstream and ocean currents, but hey, they are saving a buck or two so, "Let's all rush to Wal*Mart and buy those Chinese made goods". Meanwhile, back in the good 'ol USA, another factory closes, and it's workers go work for Wal*Mart.....

If you have to ask why.......... Might as well, China already owns you and your progeny anyway.......

 

im with LRQ. I dont want anything made in china. truth be told these made in china radios wouldnt even exist had it not been for the fact the big 3 moved some ops to china thus leading to nothing more then cheep knockoffs

 

Ditto--China already owns us

Added to conform with QRZs's character count requirement.

 

Maybe it's because I'm fairly new at this, but I was wondering why the list of features includes "Inspection, Monitor, Stun and Kill" ???

 

WHAT? You must have missed those questions on your test!!!!! lol!

The mic is an obvious Kenwood knock off

 

I honestly thought you were kidding, but then I read.

 

I thought I had misread at first. Now THOSE are FEATURES! Took a screen cap for posterity.

 

maybe the inspection, monitor, stun and kill settings are for those darn CB's that sneak in hehe

 

Holy poop! Do you see the size of that PTT button! It is more like a PTT lever!

It's not just Walmart... it's every retailer. Check the country of origin of products at Target, or anywhere else. Also, better check where your computer was manufactured as well. It's hard to go to any retailer and buy an electronic product NOT made in China these days. If it wasn't for Foxconn in China, Apple wouldn't be where it is today.
