It amazes me that no copyright is safe in China. They will, it appears, rip off any radio. Even the name is a give away. But note the ridiculously low retail price.Just brought to my attention by G0FTDChinese Michael takers
You can bet its Baofeng based?

As you say, the design seems v. similar to Baofeng, which is not similar to any Japanese radio (and, may I say, actually very robust!). The only thing that changed is the name. At least they did not use the same name (unlike some Japanese ICOM CB radios in the '80s ). Sure its cheeky, but I don't see anything illegal here (except perhaps the harmonics radiated, but that's a different story). I love how all these far-east goods always have the CE stickers.... no, not Conformité Européenne, but "Chinese Expoert" ha ha. Hugh G6AIG
