Did you get a knockoff? www.baofengradio.com is the legit url that I've bought baofeng radios from, and I just checked the boxes; no flags or bible verses.

Hey, it’s hard to read a whole nine words. Probably fools a lot of them.

LMAO, this immediately made me think of a George Carlin bit, "That’s the reality; angry men in combat fatigues talking to God on a two-way radio and muttering incoherent slogans about freedom are eventually going to provide us with a great deal of entertainment, especially after your stupid fcking economy collapses all around you and the terrorists come out of the woodwork and you’ll have anthrax in your water supply, and saran gas in your air conditioner, there’ll be chemical and biological suitcase bombs in every city and I say enjoy it, relax, enjoy the show, take a fcking chance, put a little fun in your life.”

I bought some cheap Chinese 2-way radios. The packaging has a big American flag and a “Designed in U.S.A.” claim, which I suspect is bullshit given the company involved. Also, there are two Bible verses referenced. This smacks of pandering to a particular slice of conservative Americans. All I want is cheap radios for skiing with my kids next winter, not a reminder of my country’s socio-political bullshit.

This bullshit is not from the well-known Chinese radio maker Baofeng (baofengradio.com) but rather from a US company called "BTech" which has the deceptive URL BaoFengTech.com.

Don't all iPhones have the same sentence on them?

why bible verse on a box, its very out of place why not somewhere else.

Should've used "Make in PRC", conservatives would be too dumb to know what that means 🤣

This has been going on basically forever. It's false pandering. It's technically true, a bunch of weak-wristed men sat in an office in Portland, Oregon and they "designed" this product. Then once they were done "designing" it, they sent the schematics off to China for production & ripping off of IP.

That's the best case scenario. If it's as Chinese-y as you say, maybe they modified one feature of a Chinese radio, slapped a couple Bible verses on the box...voilà, it was "designed in USA". 😆

Did you put half as much effort into making a complaint to the company as you did in making this post?

Without doing that, there is no point in making the complaint.
