Icom (Japanese) makes many good “2-meter” hand-helds as well. I fully understand and agree with your stand.

As far as I know, here are NO American-made walkies.
The only reason I suggested the Chinese Baofeng is, it’s cheap and rapidly available. There are plenty of (frankly, hetter) others around.-

Not necessarily American stuff, no problem with Japanese stuff. (Or Swedish, or whatever...) Wife drives a Japanese car.

Thanks again.
