Found a Chinesium APX 8000 on ebay.

[Mogley]

So I was looking at APX radios and this popped up. Was stupidly funny.

What do yall think?


No im not stupid enough to buy this for 100 dollars.

Double Dual PTT design hahaha. Baofengs/wouxuns in a redesigned case. Interesting how many APX lookalikes theyve started making, hmm wonder what else can they make?

 

[DeeEx]

The sold me at all of the “bual” features, I’ve always wanted a radio with those!

That case will go nicely with my orange and green safety vests, hard hat and 12-cell black anodized, stainless steel, Maglite.
I may have to print up a new Official Whacker ID to include "APX 8000 certified operator".

Yes, but it's still a feces pieces one chip walkie-talkie with no CopSounds™ or FireSounds™, but it does have that all important FM radio and flashlight!

"It's a handsome design"

 

[PACNWDude]

Wow, one more thing I have to keep my crew from buying from "trusted vendors" based on looks alone. Like all of those Harris AN/PRC-152 lookalikes based on Baofeng radios that have proliferated the market. It was bad enough with batteries looking almost like the real deal with APX900/4000, XPR3k/7k series Motorola .

 

[RodStrong]

This one clearly shows "HamGeek" on the label, which increases it's value exponentially.

Don't forget several fake Rolex watches to complete your outfit.

And the RF Supremacists rage again. ALL HAIL THE MOTOKEN KLANSMEN!

Where do you guys buy your TVs since you hate the far eastern manufacturers?

So Much Rage and Anger on RR! Who would have thought it?

 

[PACNWDude]

Full disclosure, I do own a few Baofeng radios and one Anytone 878 variant (not sure which version anymore, but the EMER button on top is light blue), what I actually use, a Harris XG-100P, Motorola APX4000M3, and a Trbo XPR7550e UHF.

But, I do get a kick out of these radios made to look like something else, they create more forums of people asking questions as if the knockoffs are the real thing.

 

[Falcon9h]

This is just wackerific enough to make me want to try one if it were on Amazon with a U.S. seller just for ****s and giggles.

 

[rescuecomm]

Having a top display in addition to the front one is unusual for a handheld in the $125 price range. It's a re-badged Xinlip XL6500 with UHF/VHF internals instead of PoC/UHF. No reviews anywhere yet.

I found a site with a download link to the programming software in case anyone wants to have a look.

Say what you will...
But the flashlight is what sold me...
In this case....real "M" just does not measure up.

[rescuecomm]

No flashlight and what's in your wallet?

Can't tell you how many times I've been trying to unlock my door at home and couldn't see to put the key in. No luck with the Moto. Whip the 'Feng right off my orange vest and in I go. Would never buy another radio without a flashlight.

Whip the 'Feng right off my orange vest and in I go.

When in doubt I whip it out....
