Galaxy radios is dead

I somewhat disagree.....
All you wrote, in my opinion, is not facts or factual.
It is merely your opinions.... Which everyone has a right to express....
And, buying pre-made dipole antennas and such is a convenience which was not available back in the times you speak about.....
And neither was technology......

Your opinion is, just that. I am stating more facts, than opinion here. Have you passed the Advanced written exam?

Buying a dipole in a baggie, is not how things were done in the past. The rite of passage, was to make your first antenna. I am licensed over 50 years now. How about you? I also built my first transceiver, the Heathkit HW-101. I know how things were, and how things are now. Things have changed, dramatically, since I started in this hobby. That is a fact.

Well, we old folks used to have to take a blood test to get married, too. Now, anyone can do it, sooo.......

I see your point and like the comparison. Not so analogous, but......

I was surprised when I had to do that. I hadn't studied for it or anything.

Is the Superstar 676 made by Anytone?

View attachment 76012

Does Anytone even make anything? Looks like the back of my Radioddity QT80.

Qixiang is the company that makes Anytone.
CRT, Radioddity, and Stryker pay to have the Anytone radios made with their own branding. The Stryker 955HPC+ is exactly the same inside as the Anytone 5555N2 it just has a different shell and those hideous blue LEDs.

Edit to add: Looks like Super Lid beat me to it!

How odd that the QT80 vs the Quad 6 usually favors Radioddity for price.
