Update March, 2015: Reader Keith Worfel provides the following information:
Writing a Mandarin word as “wou” is pronounced like “wo” with a long “o”. So I was about to correct you, but I did some quick research and realized the name (in Chinese characters) of the company would actually be correctly and properly spelled “Ouxun”. I emailed the company, and found out they purposely mis-spelled their name as “Wouxun” because it looks better for marketing purposes. So you are correct, the actual name of the company would be pronounced “O-shun”. (But FYI – in any other situation, any time you see a Chinese word written as “wou” in pinyin romanization, it is pronounced “wo” (with a long “o”)). 🙂 Like I said – silly – but I found that interesting.
He updated this a few days later with this:
One last tidbit: their name (欧讯 ōu xùn) can be literally translated as “European news”. (There are a few other translations, but that seems to be the most common.)
Has anyone been able to configure this radio with the Tinytrac 4 as a tnc? I’m trying to track my weather balloon offline with this radio and the tinytrak, but after 3 days have been unable to get the right configuration to be able to get packets from this radio to the tt4 and decode them to the computer. If anyone has a setup that has worked and would be willing to share, I’d be thankful!

[Google Spanish – English translation: I have purchased 2 of 4 radios WOUXUN 070cmts 2m and 220MHz and 2 are excellent and there is nothing to envy of the other brands.]
