It's a duplicate of an oroginal.
It has a cheap hardware in it.
It doesn't last for long.

CORRECT!
a clone is a "knock off" or "counterfeit" of the original.
the parts are all cheap.
they may not last long,but more importantly 3rd party bins will kill them.
(as they should for stealing the reputable co's name)

They are counterfeit receivers built with an external appearance to mimic the branded units, the internal parts are likely to be substandard and assembled with poor quality control, and when they fail they will not be supported.
