In recent years the Chines makers haven't been great at delivering what 
they promised, like meeting emission and stability rules for both FCC 
part 90 commercial and part 97 for amateur applications. Worse they have 
imposed the recent narrow band modulation on part 97 radios where we 
haven't needed that and some users do have wimpy audio using the Chinese 
handhelds. I know at least one dealer that last year quit handling them 
because they didn't meet specs in his shop.

The more versatile radio is most likely to have spurious mixer products 
and excessive harmonics just because of the extra frequency coverage.
