Good dealer to purchase APX lineup

[arbitergvadam]

Hello everyone.
I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good dealer to reach out to the purchase an APX radio.
I have seen way to many counterfeit radios online such as no tags. Makes no sense to me.
Any help or names to reach out to would be great.
Thanks in advance

Probable not counterfeit but more likely cobbled together from parts.

Just saw this for laughs but someone in China is selling some sort of APX8000 like radio with tags claiming the serial matches the tags.
Something weird. I dont think Motorola would appreciate this a whole lot.

Well it's not some sort of APX8000, it's an APX8000XE. Tag looks pretty legit too but can't verify the serial number

Sending 4 grand to China for a grey market radio, nothing could go wrong here.

There has been a lot of Motorola stuff coming from China sellers and mostly likely may be counterfeit. I have seen Motorola accessories offered for sale with Motorola part numbers that are not found in the Motorola system here in the United States and available in the United States.

118 dollars. Looks very APX like. Display is just text.

Have fun!

Moto can verify serial numbers if you sweet talk them and depending on mood of person. They ran several VHF XTS5000 for me and found they were units that were stolen, but Chinese imports are dead giveaways

No need to call, the serial number lookup tool will tell you if a radio is under warranty and repair history on MyView.

Best of luck getting a legit dealer to sell a one-off APX to a civilian or hobbyist...most won't.

 

[ElroyJetson]

Bearcom will. Or would. Back when the APX6000 was brand new I got one via Bearcom. It MIGHT have been the first one ordered
by a civilian. It had been released for sales just days before.

Like trying to hire a spaceship to the Mutara sector - MONEY MORE!

Wow, how special!!! 😱

Wow, how special!!! 😱

I was the first person on my block to get an APX8000XE.

 

[ElroyJetson]

Nah, I just had a request from....somebody....to get one as soon as it was possible to get it. Made a little profit off that deal. Spent all of one day exploring it for myself before handing it over. Nice but not so nice that I have spent the money to buy another one since then. It was VHF, and in my area VHF has very close to nothing interesting going on. UHF is even worse.

But was it the LUXURY 8KXE Kevin?
Cmon' now fess up....you had the regular non-Hollywood 8KXE like the rest of us non-celebrities didn't you?

I go for manly radios, not the sissyfied luxury version.

So are you telling me I need to change my Next from Desert Tan to Safety Green to be luxury version ?
