They tend to have relatively cheap front ends so put out more harmonic noise when broadcasting. They also tend to be direct conversion rather than superhet, meaning they can be more prone to interference on receive when you have a few of them together. If you're wanting to get into modern ham radio, then something like an Anytone 878 will do all the analogue as well as digital, which can be fun.
