A couple or three years ago there was an influx of h/t's into the UK via e-bay with origins in China - I believe they were marketed under the name JingTong (I kid you not)
If I recall correctly, they were so bad and caused so much interference that eventually the Regulatory Authority stepped in and ordered a ban on the sale of these things. I was going to point out that they also did not have the CE mark (meaning they were not type approved in Europe) but to be honest that really does not make a jot of difference - anything can come in the UK, its only when it causes so much of a problem and enough people kick up a stink that matters are retrospectively actioned by which time its too little, too late! You just have to love "light touch" regulation! But I am with Clint here.
