Baofeng changes their name. It's now called POFUNG

Too "similar" to PuXing. ??

Puxing's are better radios than Baofeng

All made at the same factory.

That's what I was thinking. Good thing I bought the baofeng brand programming cable to go with it. Pofung is much easier to spell.

Don't you mean Pofung?

 

[w9cll]

Don't you mean Pofung?

Hell if I know anymore. No actually the Puxing brand are better made than Baofeng/Pofung. I have a Puxing PX-2R that an awesome little rig.

Is this so they can justify a price hike?

 

[w9cll]

Has the price gone up?

 

[2RT307]

Is this so they can justify a price hike?

Yes. 1/2 a penny. The horror!

 

[Mudfoot]

Yes, one thin dime, 1/10th of a dollar.

 

[Mikaelo]

Probably just a different phonetic translation of the same chines word.

 

[googlert]

Just change the name.
Their price and product won't chang.
Baofeng in Chinese is 宝锋， but pofung is much easier to pronounce.
