What I get a laugh on is whne people say on the radio "darn piece of garbage, I'll never buy a Galaxy again, I'mma get me a good 'ol connex." "nope I gonna get a mirage" or "nope the RCI'z the bestest"
What they mail to understand is that the radios are all made and designed by the same ignorant people, that cannot field test anything, they only do lab tests, and don't have a clue what intermod means, nor do they care, because people still buy this stuff.
Mr. Peng actually has been to our shop before asking for advice on how to make their radios better. For those of you that have been in our shop, I'm sure you have seen the photo of the crew from RCI China on the wall, standing in our shop. They were given advice for free, on better receiver designs, some of which they applied to the new DX series, but for every 1 thing they change, 100 more factory mistakes remain unchanged. Did you know that in some Galaxy radios have a diode where a jumper should be, and when it was brought to their attention, their reply was "oh yeah, yeah we know awl aboutit" (typed with their accent) Yes, the radio works this way, but not exactly the way it was designed.
Anyways, didn't mean to get started on a tangent, just backing up the fact that yes, most radios today on the market are either RCI, Maxon, or R.F. limited.
