[QUOTE="Fr Mulcahy, post: 4255794, member: 42567"] Baofeng/BTech radios are internally unfiltered so badly that they bleed all over the spectrum, and thus violate FCC part 97 spectrum purity rules. The FCC does not certify amateur radios the way that they do other types of transceivers because it is the responsibility of the amateur radio operator to make sure that their equipment is compliant. I ran my two old BTech transceivers through a spectrum analyzer and the results were pretty horrible. I still use them, but only with frequency-specific external filters. Yaesu, Icom, and other name brands don't have this problem. [/QUOTE]
