About this video

In 2022, I set out on a mission to spot the differences between a "Fake" Yaesu FH-2 from AliExpress and a genuine one.

It took me a while to produce this video, but two years later, here it is—and honestly, I’m shocked by the results and the incredibly minor differences I found between the two keypads.

UPDATE: The general consensus in the comments is that this is most likely a Grey Marketed Keypad.

Disclaimer: I will not include affiliate links of a Fake FH2 in this video to avoid promoting any form of piracy. However, if you're interested, I purchased my authentic Yaesu FH-2 directly from Ham Radio Outlet:
Ham Radio Outlet – Yaesu FH-2 - hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-008587

And for comparison, here's the link to the "fake" Yaesu FH-2 I purchased from AliExpress:
AliExpress FH-2 - aliexpress.us/item/3256805178988360.html

Be sure to watch the full video to find out just how similar (or different) these two keypads really are!
