We feel it\u2019s time to adapt our brand to the global stage. The current name \u2018BAOFENG\u2019, a literal Pinyin translation of our Chinese character name, may be difficult for a hobbyist across the ocean to pronounce. We\u2019ve heard different kinds of pronunciations, like \u2018BAY-O-FENG\u2019. The new name \u2018Pofung\u2019 is easier to pronounce and more friendly to our customers, while maintaining the phonetic symbolism of our brand.<\/span><br style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\" \/><span style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">Our new brand \u2018Pofung\u2019 will gradually replace the existing brand \u2018BAOFENG\u2019 in the global markets outside China. Products for the domestic market in China will retain their current brand name and identity. Our official web domain www.baofengradio.com will remain unchanged.\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\" \/><span style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">\u3000 The new brand builds on our heritage as a reliable and professional provider of high-performance ham transceivers.We will continue to provide our customers with high-quality, cost-effective radio communication solutions, through our authorized distributors like AMAZON.COM, SAIN STORE, RADIODDITY.COM, and BAOFENGTECH.COM. We advise you to purchase only from authorized distributors to ensure quality of the products and service you get.\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\" \/><span style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">\u3000 The rebrand is also in line with our global vision and our commitment to strive toward excellence. We look forward to bringing you more exciting products under the new brand.
