    I tried to search the site but couldn't find an answer to my questions.

    Is there any US manufacturers for handheld ham radios left? I'm really trying to be conscious about buying more American made products but electronics seem to be an area where almost everything comes from overseas.

    Am I stuck with getting one from Japan? Rather that then China I suppose.

    The only two American radio manufacturers I can think of are Elecraft and Ten Tec. Elecraft makes probably the best portable HF radios in the world, and Ten Tec is not making much these days, and absolutely nothing in a handheld/portable. If you are looking for an American made UHF/VHF walkie talkie (HT)...I can't think of one.
