You are thinking of the China you learn from history books. Don't judge a book by it's cover and don't expect a $500 HT when spending $50, As long as a buyer is aware of its limitations, they will be happy that they saved some money. By the way I still don't understand the 'Made In USA' attraction in terms of quality. I work in the U.S., the entire office is full of Americans. Some of the work they do is pretty bad. So buying domestic just means you are pumping money back to OUR economy, doesn't guarantee quality IMO. You know that clothing brand 'American Eagle'? the CEO of the company wanted all the jobs to be in the US. Do you know who makes these clothes? It's in a Los Angeles factory with a bunch of 'minorities'. Something to think about. 73Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953397841255562532.post-56074246737324589192012-08-06T01:04:50.316+01:002012-08-06T01:04:50.316+01:00I sold the UV-5 as I had problems programing it, j...I sold the UV-5 as I had problems programing it, just like I did with the UV-3. Did hear back from the individual you bought it, that he had trouble with most of his computers and pulled out an old laptop with XP and was able then to program the radio. <br /><br />Despite reading any thing I could find on programing the radios manually, I could not get either radio to work. <br /><br />The VHF and UHF bands for now will just have to get along without me.<br /><br />NormNormfromAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327709947936703620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953397841255562532.post-91488776728563217612012-07-28T01:08:50.931+01:002012-07-28T01:08:50.931+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.NormfromAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327709947936703620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953397841255562532.post-57880962428801694342012-07-27T09:52:31.134+01:002012-07-27T09:52:31.134+01:00Hi Norm.

When the 5R came I transferred all the memories across using the software so I have no experience of what it is like to do it manually!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984840704237681015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953397841255562532.post-16645649575364417332012-07-26T22:49:16.659+01:002012-07-26T22:49:16.659+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.NormfromAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327709947936703620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953397841255562532.post-15413137137072867092012-07-25T07:38:58.163+01:002012-07-25T07:38:58.163+01:00I JUST CANT DO BUSINESS WITH CHINA .

I like the fact that the Yaesu can listen to shortwave, and just about anything else.<br /><br />Thanks for the great review!Speedmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193689033214490178noreply@blogger.com
