I remember reading recently, cannot seem to find it now... That the Chinese radio Baofeng 5r was not being used for a CERT group because of a reason. Can anyone recall or explain why these radios are being discouraged to be used? Something about frequency separation or bleed over???

Any pros/cons?

This is the Chirp mailing list. Try to keep the questions radio-programming related. I'm sure you will find some opinions on the UV5R mailing list or a general ham list.
