Well Galaxy offerings seems rather scarce. RCI offerings seem rather scarce. It has been this way for a while longer than DJT has been POTUS.
I doubt the Tariffs are to blame. Even capacitors and other jelly bean parts have been scarce for longer than Donald Trump has been President.
For instance this is EU on CHinese made EV's
"
Tariffs on Electric Vehicles:
- The EU has increased tariffs on Chinese-built EVs, including specific rates for brands like BYD and SAIC.
- These tariffs, ranging from 17% to 35.3%, are on top of the standard car import duty. Some as high as 45%.
- The EU's actions are in response to investigations into Chinese government subsidies and their impact on the EV market.
Tariffs on Aerial Work Platforms:
- The EU announced anti-subsidy duties ranging from 20.6% to 66.7% on Chinese-imported aerial work platforms.
- Investigations revealed that Chinese manufacturers, benefiting from government support, were selling these products at prices significantly lower than the EU average. "
I tried easily looking up EU tarrifs on consumer electronics from China but it was slow going. The EU has traditionaly had far higher tariffs on almost everything imported on every country that does business with them that is not in the EU. Far higher than even the new US Tariffs and for many decades now.
Now had we really gone to what was it 134% tarrif on China then sure I would agree but no one with more than 2 working brain cells thought that was actualy going to happen. That was always to get peoples attention and create a sense of urgency! It worked as intended. I disagree with the POTUS on a good many things but I like how he excutes his plans. He is normaly very reasonable once people come to the table and actual attempt to work with him but if you try to call his bluff he is not afraid to follow through or even double down.
Canada has scandelious tariffs but the average person is largely ignorant by choice and wants to remain that way! So it is only shocking when the media covers it and pushes fake outrage and ignorance! Every country does it much the same way.
Almost every model of Galaxy Radio made the last 20 years is discountinued or out of stock. Just about every model RCI has made for the last 20 years is discountinued or out of stock. The few that remain are stupidly expensive given the low quality of manufacturing and componets used and the cheap labor being used. I dare say most of the models most available are ones made by the parent company of the Anytone Brand we all know. I can not think of their name now. President, Uniden, Anytone, Radioditty, Stryker etc.....all made by the same company. Did Mr. Ping die or something?
