anyone hear anything on cheap mobile 2m or 70cm radios?

About a year ago several of the Chinese manufactures were getting ready to make cheap mobiles. I have been not so closely following the wouxon and its been in delay after delay. Has anyone seen anything available at a price low enough to get some converts? I long for the day when I can take my CB out of the truck lol.

I think you can pick up a basic Yaesu or Kenwood 2m or 70cm for about $150. Maybe a few bucks less on sale. I haven't really seen anything and any company cheaper but I have not been licensed that long.

Sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and spend some extra money on a decent radio. Sell some stuff you have laying around that you do not use to finance a radio that will get used. Sometimes I run across 2 meter mobile rigs for fairly cheap. I just sold an Icom 2 meter with antenna and coax for 100 bucks. That is one of the reasons I have the nice little ham shack that I have now. That and just looking around every week for deals.
