I'd say you're right on all counts, they're cheap is their main
attraction and they talk a little which helps. THey are also ready to
transmit anywhere out of the box as the uv-5 was type accepted. They
are a software defined radio as I understand it. I have several of the
uv5s and an f6. The f6 is a much bettetr radio, better receiver
selectivity and from what I've read much cleaner on transmit than the
chineese radios. But you can't beat the price, a replacement battery
for my f6 cost me $70.
