China is such a large horse and it is red! Its government claims to be
communist but it is one good capitalist dictatorship.
The Chinese made Ten Tec would be a better value if it had three bands. By
the time you buy two of them you have spend $500. The Japanese made Yaesu
FT-817ns is a better deal. It has all the HF bands as well as FM/SSB/CW on
the most popular VHF/UHF frequencies.
