    That is about the dumbest reason to change a product's name.

    Wouxun is oft pronounced completely wrong, but I bet they won't follow Baofeng's example.

    People call my home state Oregon ore-E-gone, maybe we should make it easier for the less educated? ;)

    Should have just changed their name to "Bought on Amazon.com".

    I am still trying to get used to saying Beijing Duck at the restaurant.

    Actually, from what I recall from one of their promotional videos, it's pronounced: yah-EH-soo

    Shoot, the guy's a genius and quite talented. In spite of his oddness or your taste in music. Kinda like Michael Jackson and Madonna. Artists are often weird.

    is that "giant sucking sound" all the american manufacturing jobs going overseas, or is it the chinese trying to breathe with all that smog they got driving lousy cars they bought with our wal-mart and ham radio money ? it don't matter. klaatu and gort are melting the polar ice caps, so our human 'race' doesn't spread it's violence and stupidity to the rest of the universe. they've been listening ( it was 11 meters that was the last straw, or maybe 75). hihi.

    Makes me wonder what Baofeng can means depending on the tone.

    I like that first translation better. The second character looks like a three element Yagi. :)

    Marketing needs to change it to something that not only translates better to English but describes the quality of the radio.

    How about Dung?
