They must also be using 'Auto Signer's' to sign off on QC

i'm pretty sure our trade unbalance is mostly due with past administrations

Hell if i can double my money, i sell em on Ebay..

anyone that transmits over the repeater has to at the required intervals. Family members are still suppose to but allowed to share your ID. The way I understand, if only family members use the repeater and you use auto CW at required intervals, no need to speak ID.

agreed, 100%

I like using keyboard for fast jumps to Ch's or frequency and for occasionally repeater control. I do some HT's without keyboard and use them for hiking, kayaking, fishing etc.

there was a period about 1.5 years ago you could buy two for $30 bucks. I bought a few, just because.

yea, but them Boofwengs were pennies to the dollar.. much higher profit margin.. Honestly, i think i have 12 brand new unopened Boofwengs in my arsenals and 3 used Wouxon's. .

Back in 2002 i had a RCI 2950 i bought from Bills Radio. Right out of the box it had all kinds of intermittent issues so i eventually contacted Bills, unfortuntly after warrantee expired. He had me send it back for a repair estimate. After he got the radio he called back and said the whole board was cold soldered and radio was basically toast. Before i 'went off' he said he was sending me a brand new radio at no cost. So yes, i can attest this problem does happen and pretty sad that it's not caught in manufacturing. Automated machinery does screw up and when it does, it does it in a much worse way than any human assembler can.

I actually worked on a network design for an installation at a Genentech site many years ago.. Not saying where, but i can tell you that place would blow your mind. When you see the measures they take when doing bio tech research, it would scare the hell out of you when you realize this is done basically in our back yards

But not 'all' from China.. some and maybe the higher end are manufactured in S Korea, Japan, Taiwan and even Vietnam.. Unless China comes to a level fair ground with tariffs, i'm betting Baufang figures out a way to manufacture from one of these countries. Exactly what is happening with the Laser Hobby world

Unit Number: 10

Chinese made importer/reseller? I woiuld think the retaliatory fees going to make things a lot worse for China imported items.

Icoms are made in Japan so that would involve a total differnt tariff fee then China.. Japan has made a deal with the U.S. on trad but i dont know those detials, defiantly better than China due to all this retaliatory crap goijng on

i just heard on the news, China is the leading manufacture of Antibiotics, providing 90% of our supply. Kennedy has already made a deal with manufactures of vetenary antibiotics to produce human consumption antibiotics with no hiccups in our supply requirement's. It sounds like this administration has covered some important bases.

Amazon has begun to notify some China Wholesalers they won't be restocking its warehouses due to tariffs. https://fortune.com/2025/04/09/amazon-trump-tariffs-inventory-orders-china-economy-exposure/. The effects will soon be in our eyes. On a personal note, i pulled the trigger and ordered up a Roly Lasermatic that i've been wanting for a few months. There is a good chance these things will be to far out of reach. Although the Chinese owner recently announced he is bringing the manufacturing of his stuff to the United States.

That 47 is a good number

yes it is.. especially the American Tech Market or any American market

shoot, i took that sticker off

Welcome 'Aboard'

It's on... The Black Market is gonna get hot

hell, next week i might ask $450 for mine

It means everyone is leaving Ca, mostly the Bay Area

Well, looks like we are now in a all out tariff war with China.. Now,,, when will we see the effects in the cost and supplies. So far nothing,, I wonder if my Chinese radios (dozens) will be worth anything

Hell, you don't have to pick the trash. I'll give it to ya
