mini cbs which one not made in China

ginericLC · 12-08-07, 06:14 PM

I've been looking at the mini sized CBs. I had been looking at the Cobra 19s and was ready to pull the trigger until I found out all of my local stock of them were made in China. Formerly they were made in the Philippines. I'm trying my best to avoid Chinese made goods. Now I'm looking at the Unidens, anyone have one or anyone know where they are made?

Well Uniden and Maxon are out now too.

Don't tell me my Uniden was made in china also.

I was going to tell you to check out the 510 or 520 by Uniden.

OK I won't tell you but the latest 510s and 520s and 535s are all made in China.

Basically I'm screwed if I want to buy a small CB and I don't want to buy from China.

To get a USA made one is fairly expensive $200-500. And I think I'd probably do it if they were small but they are huge. Cobra 29 chassis size and larger.
