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.

Which models #s?

I use a FRG-8800, and while it has its quirks, it works great for me.
Others recommend the FRG-100, AKA "Century Frog".

I never tried any of these. I use RF gain a lot and I don't think any of
these have it. Shoot, even my Sony 7600GR has a variable attenuator. I bet
they sold a lot of the FRG-7's.
