I have seen the new Chinese made cars for the US Market... and if the one I've seen becomes available for regular sale here in the US... GM and Ford are going to be in much bigger trouble. It's pretty nice... Onward... The JTong style Asian UHF and VHF Radios have been finding their way over here to some of my more "creative" ham friends. They promise the moon and almost deliver it. The radios work pretty well except they shoot themselves in the foot with what appears to be a 3-cent mic element. So the tx audio sounds like the user has a sock/rag (or equiv) in his/her mouth. If they get the tx audio problem fixed... we're going to see a heck of a lot more of them. (My friend sold his before we had a chance to try a speaker mic on it.) cheers, skipp > > Kevin Custer wrote: > > Their stuff has flooded eBay for several months. > > I'd say it's made in China > > No further comment, > > Kevin > >

There's a guy here with one, very "distinctive" audio. Still, they are pretty inexpensive, and I do like the red case option. I worry about the batteries though. I have had very bad and very exciting experiences with off-brand NIMH cells. As in "rapid heating and explosive venting of boiling electrolyte". But that only happened in about 1% of the cells we got from china.

Hmm, let me check with the zoning board. Hey ME, is it ok? Might be interesting when the weather gets rough though.

Mainland china considers Taiwan to be a rebellious province. Taiwan, and the rest of the world considers itself to be an independent nation. Back to repeater building...
