We sell genuine equipment that was manufactured for the U.S. market.
The majority of radios and equipment sold on auction sites, Amazon.com, and marketplaces are either Asian models or illicit counterfeits.
Non-U.S. radios are “jailbroken” so that their firmware and serial numbers emulate U.S. models. Their rear labels are reprinted with phony serial numbers, part numbers, and FCC IDs.
Accessories from these sites, like microphones and batteries, are 75% likely to be counterfeit. They do not meet the same performance standards as original equipment.
- Jailbroken radios are not FCC approved – and are illegal to operate in the U.S.
- Jailbroken radios may contain malware; causing security and privacy issues when connected to Bluetooth, WiFi, or a computer for programming.
- Counterfeit accessories do not meet manufacturer standards and may damage your radio equipment.
When buying from Haloid, we guarantee that you will receive authentic and manufacturer original equipment that is malware free and legal to operate in the United States.
