baofeng radios are considered junk by many Hams but not all of them. they tend to be noisy signal wise, but that does not excuse their behavior.
its been a game to many now to purchase the cheap radios and use them illegally
usually not legal radio operators anyway hence them not giving their call sign as they are supposed to.
you also get elitist 's who think you cant get on the air without spending thousands on radio equipment and ignore those with a weak signal.
we cannot weed these turds out without mass compliance of the operating community.
ham operators can locate these operators and report them to the fcc but that's all they can do.
most ham operators are courteous and helpful (at least the licensed ones)
