     - Watch out for knockoff Baofeng hardware, as there is a lot of it. Only trust direct sellers of Baofeng (and **BTECH**) products. Be especially wary for **counterfeit USB cables**, as not every programming cable that carries the Baofeng logo will actually be able to program your radio.
-**One final important note:** Just because you can unlock some of these radios to use all the frequency bands, **//doesn't mean you will get good performance on these bands!//** This is especially applicable to those using custom firmware on the **K5/K6 series** trying to transmit on 50 MHz. **//The chips in these radios simply were not designed for that kind of use//**. Reception is one thing //(and child's play for the tuners)// but as far as transmission goes, stick to what the radio was designed for if you want other people to actually hear you!
