So, how do we pronounce Baofeng? I've been told its Bowel-fung. Not Bo-fang, not Bay-O-Fang. I actually talked to a Japanese contact once that told me Yaesu was pronounced Y'all-sue,, not Yay-zoo. LoL.. All in good fun,, however anybody says it is ok with me.:p

Ok, it is bowel fung. But there is no youtube video on yaesu. Ill go with my contact on y'all-sue. Funny how the spelling is totally different from the pronunciation.

I unintentionally embarrassed a store clerk once. The young girl behind the counter initially gave me a shocked look that slowly turned into a sheepish grin. I simply asked her to bring over that mats-u-shit-a radio for me to look at. Matsushita was of course a respected Japanese Company. Fortunately I won’t make that mistake again since they changed over to Panasonic.
