Radios like this probably also don't not meet FCC and other regulatory requirements either. WEEE ensures that when you part ways with your product, it can be safely dismantled and recycled. A RoHS2 compliant product will not contain materials that could be dangerous to your health and the environment. Having a RED compliant radio communications product ensures that it wont interfere with another system (or services) and that other systems will not interfere with it. It works, why should I care about CE and RED? In Europe, that's the law. A product bearing the CE mark conforms with health, safety and environmental protection standards defined in the EU RED RoHS2 and WEEE directives.
These radios also probably present a safety risk.įor those of you living in one of the EEA countries (and Turkey), the radios do not meet the requirements to bear the CE mark. Because there is no after-sales service, the consumer is often left high-and-dry with non-functional communications equipment and nobody to help them. Since radios like this are of such poor quality, the average failure rate must be 5-20 times greater than a genuine Motorola radio. Why should we be bothered?įor the consumer (now I'm referring to end users with no industry-specific knowledge), there would be no way for them to reasonably tell the difference between a genuine product and a fake. Why are these radios so cheap? The reasons are numerous: no R&D required, just copy-copy-copy extremely low labour costs cheap materials and components no after-sales service needed hence no overhead imported and sold by fly-by-night-traders goods sold ex-works (importer usually pays freight and customs) etc. Why would anyone want to do this? The 山寨-branded MT-777 sells for around $30 whereas if one were to stick a Motorola badge on it and drop it into a Motorola box, one can ask >$90 for the same thing. Well, the MT-777 seems to be made in some, way below par, Chinese factory and somewhere along the way, gets a Motorola badge and finds its way into a Motorola branded box. It could also be considered as fraud as the seller might be knowingly passing off these radios as the real McCoy. What do I mean by fake? This product uses the Motorola logo and/or name which is an infringement on the the trademark of Motorola Solutions. I've done my own research and I can assure you that this radio is 100% fake.
