It is likely that they were authentic Icom devices. My understanding is that it is common for commercial radios to be programmed by distributor. Or Gold Alpha gave a good deal on pagers and radios and then were intercepted from warehouse.

I don't think Icom would ever put name on generic radio, they make all their radios in Japan. It is like Toyota putting name on another car.

I read that Icom V82 is discontinued and most available are counterfeit.

Toyota puts their engines in other cars all the time.
