Did you notice the RF Rain on the bottom radio?

LOL, just like the first 955 prototype radios with ""STRYER"" on the face-plate.
there is something to be said about Englineeze translations.

Why do they all assume that we cannot live without tying up a perfectly good knob for echo?

That new "STRYER" has 6 built in roger beeps. Won't be long before we start hearing all 6 of them either.

Not likely, unless they want to end up in court.

I have the CRT SS6900 and that LCD and display work fine in 20 degree mornings. I know it is not exactly the same but I would bet that the actual company that makes the 6900 is making the 8900. all the same functions and computer programming

Not likely. I could see the FCC charging someone with smuggling for importing products like this though.

 

[Tucker442]

if they import it as a 10 meter CW radio I don't see any issue with that

Hmmm, i always thought superstar was a pseudonym, like palomar was. maybe i'm wrong.

but i'm very curious too know at what point Ranger RCI took over from Uniden making superstars using almost identical circuitry (copyright breach?) as earlier Uniden models, infact they still do,

can you clarify this missing portion of export radio history Shioda, because as their lawyer you must know,I suspect many of the subcontractors for Uniden are now under the RCI banner, or is your first threat of legal action the biggest piece of hypocrisy ever seen (taking into account the company you represent have blatantly lived off Uniden designs for years, god you even upgraded the ss3900 regulator circuit to exactly what the president grant had years before) . you see where i'm coming from, as the guys who have kept these companies in business over the years, i feel this should be clarified, obviosly without putting anyone in a legal compromise.

the other possibility is RCI bought copyright from Uniden, because i see no record of any legal battle on copyright ever having taken place, but no shortage of things concerning RCI's legal fights of which you are obviously a major player in.

i'm open to correction on anything i've ASSUMED wrongly.
