Thats the problem. They may be clones of well known radios but not type
approved as yet. Lot of hoops to jump through to import in bulk.

I wonder if they are type approved for use in VK?


MCS2000 is a nice radio

Seen a couple of the hand helds so far. The kenwood copies are very
good.
The motorola radios are also very good. I noticed Andy posted in vkham
that
he didn't like one of them. It had a dtmf tone that was too quite to use
in
triggering echolink or irlp nodes via radio. But in general there has
been
good reports from a highly qualified tech in a government sector that
has
been testing them for some time now.

Probably as good as any new Kenwood or Motorola that they are cloned
from

and for a small fraction of the name brand price
