And they're expensive because of it. There are far more Japanese made
tabletops, such as Yaesu, especially from the 80s before China started
making all the radios. Yaesu's are inexpensive too, and IMO offer the
most bang for the buck.


Much as I like, over all, Yaesu's product line, they tend to produce
real bombs every now and then, and their DC-daylight jobber is one of
them. The FRG-100 and FRG-7 are far better radios. IMHO.
