With all respect Ken, this is a crude idea.

Are you aware of the fact that Motorola (a US company) took over Vertex 
Standard (YAESU) an that Ten-Tec is probably using more third party 
parts inside their equipment than you can imagine?

GM sell their cars as 'Opel' in Germany and as 'Vauxhall' in the UK. 
Fortunately the US people buy lots of Porsches and the ML model of 
Mercedes is manufactured in the US.

Do you really believe that such a "buy British" attitude fits into our 
modern world? To me the crucial items when buying a radio are quality 
and price. It really doesn't matter where it comes from.
