I am looing for a new dual band,
And it got me thinking....
Is there any real difference in radios build in china for the world market
I mean the following radios are essentially the same
YaesuFTM300R except for C4FM
BtechUX50x2
TYT TH-8600
Retevis RT-95
Midland DB2500
now except for the Yaesu the radios are the same yes?
I guess my question is that is there any quality difference or is it one factory belching out the same crap?
Has Yaesu gone down the rabbit hole or do they really tell their builder what kind of quality they want?
I have herd of Chinese names cloning Moto, Kenwood icom gear and changing this or that to prevent a trademark dispute .
How good is this stuff technically , I mean on the bench?
Does the quality come from the engineer at Moto who demands this or that chip or firmware, or is more functional, we want the radio to do this or that (dmr-Trunking C4FM, etc)
Maybe beating a dead horse but im curious, would love to put them all on a service monitor to really see....
