New Knock offs circulating

Post by W4CTW »

Just saw a couple interesting new items popping up on ebay/ali express. Looks like more copies/variations.

One looks like the recent Nanorig version slightly changed The other would appear to maybe be (tr)usdx hardware or maybe a hybrid in the usdx (slim black box) case that has been around for a while. Guessing this based on the now different screen and sudden addition of an onboard mic and PTT button. Just wanted to give a heads up on this.

Thanks for the hint !
One is a new Variant of uSDX as it clearly does not advertise SWR measurment or CAT or Power Supply via USB connection.

The other one is quite interesting however:
A resin printed housing, even available as high band version, no mentioning of "upgraded PCB".
But since there were no new registrations or registration requests in larger quantities, this can only mean 2 things:
1. either Nanorig have put their stock in a new shell and try to clear their stock of blocked serial numbers and try a new start as "HamGeek" or
2. They have cracked the firmware and don´t give a Sh*t about us anymore.
Either way: Their listings are using pictures from my homepage without permission. Enough to claim them on ebay. WHen they get deleted they´ll get my contact information and can contact me. Then we´ll see what they are all about.
