"BAOFENG Rebrands to Pofung: Chinese radio manufacturer BAOFENG is rebranding its products under the "Pofung" label in international markets. The company said BAOFENG -- a literal Pinyin translation of the company's Chinese character name -- "may be difficult for a hobbyist across the ocean to pronounce." The company said the new name, Pofung, is easier to pronounce and more customer-friendly, while maintaining the brand's phonetic symbolism. Products for the domestic market in China will retain their current brand name and identity, and the company's web domain, www.baofengradio.com, will remain unchanged. -- Thanks to Amateur Radio Newsline, Baofeng"
Their Web site has a Pofung tab in the menu at the top of the page.
