I bought some cheap Chinese 2-way radios. The packaging has a big American flag and a “Designed in U.S.A.” claim, which I suspect is bullshit given the company involved. Also, there are two Bible verses referenced. This smacks of pandering to a particular slice of conservative Americans. All I want is cheap radios for skiing with my kids next winter, not a reminder of my country’s socio-political bullshit.
I’m sure Baofengtech makes a version for liberals too, probably in a brown box marked as recyclable.
I’ve bought 15 Baofeng uv5r radios over the years… Every single one has been packed in a plain looking brown box marked recyclable
