I don't have the Chinese radios either. I owned one briefly and it had
issues, namely it would quit receiving and go into some sort of sleep mode,
no matter whether that option was set. It was also poorly built and had
rattling parts and covers that wouldn't stay closed, etc. I sold it at a swap
meet.

Other folks I know have had issues, mainly quality control. I'd rather just
spend the cash and get something more solid personally.
