Product Information:

Counterfeit products have become a serious concern for Icom. Icom continues to fight against counterfeits.

Counterfeit products are hurting not only Icom's business, but also authorized dealers and distributors, and above all, users are the number one victim. Counterfeit products are often sold at very low price, but of inferior quality and performance.

It is difficult to identify counterfeit products in the market because some of them look almost identical to genuine ICOM products.
