I’ve never owned a Wouxun radio, but I know several people who have.

One of my readers, Jarno (PA3DMI) over at the SWLing Post, just apprised me of Wouxun.us, who is giving up on the Wouxun brand (though he’ll continue to carry accessories).

Wouxun.us states:

“I’ve finally given up on Wouxun.
They refuse to correct a known defect* in their dual band HT’s.
They also will not support any warranty on their radios.
Over the past four to five years, I’ve replaced about 500 defective radios out of my own pocket and I’ve finally said, Enough is Enough”

With that warning in place, Wouxun.us currently has a closeout price of $109.95 on their Wouxun KG-UV6D v2. Check out the mostly positive review on eHam.net.

Me? I’ll probably pass.
