    What about Christmas the "only" of the ICOM on a body of an Baofeng radio,not bad it?

    hi hi really nice this .... a big FAKE radio :)

    暴风 ... (Bàofeng) from Chinese means "storm",
    a beautiful storm of "sun", I remember long ago the same radio with the words KENWOOD.

    I take this opportunity to offer you and my best wishes

    of Happy Holidays.

    I pasted "Rock Hudson" on my forehead but my wife caught the fake right away.

    Wonder how she knew that---

    Maybe they'll come out with a Hilberling version and market it for $12,489 :D :D

    Not exactly the first instance of copycat fakes to come out of China, and it's not only limited to ham radios but there's all kinds of stuff.

    Not sure what "can be done" exactly, but radio manufacturers like Yaesu, Kenwood, Icom and others are certainly very much aware of the Chinese knockoff problem.

    For example, here's a news release from Icom:

    My understanding is the fake knockoffs are coming from China.
