I purchased this from Two Way Radio Wholesaler / Fulfilled by Amazon. The unit did not come with the laser label. Did I get a counterfeit?

I do not know. I did not even pay attention to my shipment to see if it had a "laser label" (I think it did). Mine has the blue color wording typed on the antenna base. I did not save the packaging it came in, but seem to recall it was a vinyl-like plastic bag like the one in the pictures. Mine maybe authentic. I do know that it fits flush with my Baofeng UV-5R+Plus and seems to work well (better than the stock "rubber-ducky" antenna). Hope this helps.

I'm not sure. The 2 that I bought came with peel & stick labels and I never really paid that much attention to it until I read your question, so we both may have been duped, if you're referring to a label that's actually etched into the base of the antenna with a laser. That may explain the really low price, because I was ready to buy 2 "Diamond" brand antennas at twice the price from H.R.O. until a fellow H.A.M. operator put me onto this one. All I know is that both of the antennas that I purchased seem to work as expected and I guess that's what really counts. Sorry, I wish I could be of more help. I'm not sure.

IF SOLD AS NEW, it should have come in an skinny orange vinyl bag with a holographic sticker on it...

I emailed Nagoya support and asked how to know the difference between a counterfeit and the genuine. In their reply I was told that the genuine Nagoya has a QR printed on the package.

Just received this antenna and it was not as shown in the ad. I had checked the internet to find out how to tell the original NAGOYA antenna and knockoffs. Two things to look for where the laser made decal on the package and the blue label on the antenna. The ad showed both and so I assumed this would be the real thing. WRONG! Neither the decal nor the blue label is on the one that arrived. I contacted Amazon and reported the problem. Note this was reported by other buyers but I ignore the warning! Buyer beware, what you see is not always what you get.

I went to their website and used their label printing wizard tool thing, typing out what we wanted the labels to say. I then printed to a laser printer right from the website tool. Then I did the same thing for the backside so the labels were printed front and back. Oh, Before I printed the actual label I printed to a blank sheet of paper to make sure the orientation and alignment were right, and I had to make small adjustments on the first side to make it print where I wanted (centered basically). So definitely do a test run first. Hope that helps!

It seems to imply it does. I will register it tomorrow once I fire it up and know it works and will post my initial findings. Please see all the answers I have posted. I was hoping these questions would be answered for me, but they were not, so I wanted to answer them for everyone else. Adding this comment. After investigating further, yes, the item is posted as new. See this link.

Go back to amazon. The paperwork I received wasn't clear about who the supplier/manufacturer was when I bought mine. Mine seems to be a good product, lousy instructions, and unclear who the supplier was I just know I got it from Amazon,

By now you have probably discovered that the instruction sheet is useless. You can practice detecting RF signals by using your cell phone or microwave oven. This item does detect RF signals is useless for the laser detection. Good luck

Send it back to amazon for a refund or exchange it for another one and hope it comes from a different seller. There are alot of fakes from all these cheap LED flashlight's that are identical in look's but not in quality. Good Luck

I would tell you the answer to this but when i got my order the laser was missing from the box. You can get a similar laser at Walmart

I just got my order and there was only one radio. I talked to online chat and after a while I got a refund to cover the cost of the missing radio. If you have to go through what I did, your email confirmation of your order that shows the picture of the radio and says 2-Pack is going to be your only evidence. Rest assured that when you talk to someone tell them to pull up that very same email order confirmation(they can) so that you both are looking at the same email. Don't let them stiff you like the online chat representative tried to do with me.

You should ask what ever seller that you are purchasing this from and not post here. I would suggest buying direct from Amazon as you would be less likely to get a counterfeit product.

The box was sealed in what appeared to be original cellophane, but the seller was Beauty Encounter, not La Prairie. Is the product counterfeit?

Ditto - this is a counterfeit battery. I compared the holograms and they are different and the label looks like it was applied by hand.

I checked a few of the reviewers posting histories. While the ones who have only a single record of reviewing any product might be cause for suspicion, there are many other reviewers whose records appear to be legitimate. I'd suggest that this is not a case of a manufactured conspiracy, but simply a case of poor manufacturing quality control. The buyers who got good units were very satisfied. The buyers who got less-than-good-units were not very satisfied. BTW, this product is currently on sale at a daily-deal website for $69.99 delivered. Your review (and others complaining of poor quality) convinced me to purchase this product ONLY if covered by a "satisfaction guaranteed" warranty.

I got mine engraved and it worked great, but it was with a laser so I don't know if that makes a difference.

Happy Thanksgiving!I believe mine is genuine. The label indicates "KX Technologies, 55 Railroad Ave, West Haven, CT 06516-4143 USA" and looks like the real deal. (Of course, a knockoff can copy the label too, I suppose.) The actual vendor might be important: I bought mine from "Healthy Biz Healthy Home."

I also purchased a Laser Jammer, this will give no reading back to the Police laser unit just displays 3 little dashes on the laser unit in the police car. They have no number to reference.
