You really hit upon a problem.

Yes, there is a problem there. The Chinese and Taiwanese )God bless them) are a very self-assured and prideful people (no offence to anyone intended). That means they sometimes put the old "Ugly American" story into reverse. They are SO assured of what they have that they resist changing for anyone or any reason.

Thus, great devices languish around waiting for them to adapt it to the North American market. Jinke is a lot better than most... but none are exactly aware fully that North America is a different animal. It is not just translation to English... the competition is different, the way we maybe look and expect with controls is different, the way we may use the devices is different.
