Are there ANY portable radios currently being made in Japan?
I thought that the only SW radios still actually made there are the
JRC models at many kilodollars each, and perhaps the actual
manufacturing of those has been shifted offshore, too.

Re a coming Chinese-made radio: Could this have been the
Degen 1106, the design of which actually was sold and eventually
came on the market as the Eton E5?

Or are we talking about a tabletop set equivalent to a Watkins-Johnson
or high-end JRC or the big Ten-Tec?

Actually, I would think that the Chinese military might have a local
contractor making something like that for them, and there isn't any
real reason that such a radio couldn't be offered on the world market.
Any Chinese company certainly now has the incentive to try to expand
their market for any product that's not classified. I wonder if
anything
like that shows up at the Asian trade fairs for military goods,
aircraft,
etc.?

The Chinese make junk radios. The Japanese radios are the best. No such
thing as a Chinese high end radio now, or ever.

Hiya...

Been a while since I posted here. I remember some months back there was a
thread here regarding the wish list for a new high end receiver that was
being planned. I think the thread was actually started by a Chinese
electronic engineer that was working on the project. At any rate, I forgot
what the story was. Is there a high end receiver on the way from China ???
If so, is it a portable or may be even a table top ???

Thanx in advance !!!
