There's also more on the CPF site, use the search (also has a dedicated Google search there).

Other reviews on Amazon.com, one from a guy named "Nlee the Engineer" and another one by "Esanta". The Esanta guy is a major contributor to the CPF site, and I believe the Nlee person is also.

I read quite a bit about them, I got a LaCrosse BC-900; it's made in China.

Have fun.
