Actually not all of the chinese radios are bad quality. Most of the HT's that have the big names like Icom, Yaesu, Kenwood and others are made in China, Phillippians, Tawian. Made with the same parts but with different designs. The TYT, HYT, Hytera are decent, but majority of the baofengs are cheap designs. What hurts the baofengs are the receiver selectivity. When I get a spectrum analyzer I will be making some observations of the the transmit signals
