I should have said that there are many problems with Baofengs and similar. Certainly spurious emissions are the big one. The manufacturers have made some attempt to fit LPFs for the ham bands, but simply don't bother for the bands that they don't legally cover. And yeah, the "cheap and nasty" aspect is simply the other side of the same coin. If the manufactures had fitted LPFs for each possible band, plus sought type-approval for other bands, they would be unaffordable. Not to mention that removing keypad panel programming would block any attempt at type approval in the first place.
