The 29s were built in different locations pending on the year. Early models were built in Taiwan. The for 1 year and 1 year only the GTL was built in Hong Kong. Followed by the Philippine versions, which were arguably the best of them all. From there they were built in China, which is when the mic jack was moved to the front of the radio.  As far as schematics go, I don't believe there was much of a difference until the China built.  Which came with a different audio chip.
