Somehow, many of you people fail to understand anything that a poster is

1. I wouldn't imagine that Americans are thought well of in most areas of
the world right now. My comments about not mentioning that he even knows
an American were meant facetiously. Nevertheless, my comments had nothing
to do with "knowing anyone in the Newsgroup".

2. The link was not provided as an endorsement, merely the result of a
simple search to show the radio with a slight discussion about radios
suitable for use in Europe, and most importantly, a warning about not
using American FRS radios in Europe.

Has Arnie suffered a stroke since his original post, leaving him unable to
respond first person? If so, wish him well for me.

No stroke here. Just a busy rest of the day. Lots of snow today here in
the Great White North. As far as I can tell Cdn FRS radios are the same as
US models. I did not take them when I went to Mexico a while back.

Can't say I have my finger on the pulse of world opinion on Americans. I do
know that the current administration is thought of as suspect, but I have
the impression that's dying down with some time passing.

Arnie's a Canadian, and I don't think that talking with people on a
usenet group counts as "knowing" them. As for two way radios, it would
probably be easier for Arnie to buy PMR radios when he gets to Europe
than to buy them online from a European dealer.
