A nifty site that lets you see photos of future shortwave

Step 1 - Click on the URL below

http://www.globalsources.com/gsol/HO...SOL/GSHOME.jsp

Step 2 - Do a PRODUCT search on the Keyword "Shortwave"

Step 3 - Click on the highlighted "Multiband Radios"

VERY INTERESTING stuff.

I just made a VERY VERY curious discovery on the URL
I posted in the original thread.

It seems that a company
in Hong Kong called Maxima Communication Ltd
is actually the OEM for several brands of Icom, AOR,
Kenwood and Alinco ham radio products !!!

(Among these are the Icom IC756-PRO and the Yaesu FT-1000MP !! )

I am sure all you hams reading this who paid BIG BUCKS for
a "Japanese made" Icom or Yaesu actually paid for a radio
that was made by Maxima in Hong Kong.....!

(as soon as it gets an Icom or a Yaseu Japanese
name on it, plus made-in-japan, the price is
inflated BIG TIME ???)

Check it out 4 yourself boys!

gettin a "genuine" Jap radio! You hams been paying
Toyota and Subaru prices for a Kia and a Hyundai
all this time !

The Maxima Communications pages describe themselves as a "distributor"
for the lines you mention, and a bunch of others. I don't see any
specific information which indicates that they are actually the
manufacturer.

I grant you, it's quite possible that many of today's amateur radios
have some of their board assembly done in China, or in some cases even
the entire radio manufacture done there - this is common enough in
most fields of consumer electronics. However, I don't see reason to
believe that Maxima Communications is the factory or OEM, based on the
site whose URL you posted.

Maxima makes NOTHING. They only DISTRIBUTE products made by other manufacturers.

My Icom R-75 is clearly marked in several places: "Made in Japan".
Exception to the DC power supply, which is marked "Made in Taiwan".
