It’s cheap but so are the Baofeng that I own, if I get what I pay for, I’m okay with that, it will be fun to see what kind of modifications I can make to the device to see what it can do.

I know a few guys who have them. Your assessment is correct.
These days, $30 is two meals at McDonalds…so it’s hard to think you could go wrong. Let us know what happens.

My "good" radios are Yaesu, Icom and Kenwood. I have a cast off Baofeng that works Ok on 2m. My low power HF gear is Xiegu. G90 and X6100. The G90 works fine in the field. I just purchased the X6100 for some QRP ops. Still in the box.
A few years ago I dabbled in DMR. My TYT hand-held had a good open source firmware. It was fun until a malicious individual hacked the computer of the principal software maintainer. No more updates, so the radio is frozen in time with the last updates it will ever have.
