I,m a bit confused by your statements, however I think what you may have said is definitly true. Cheap is junk? Of course when someone starts they're not likely to want to spend $400. on just the radio when they can get plane,radio,etc. for less. Herein lies the problem which perhaps could be avoided with having done sufficient research. It never fails to amaze me when reading these forums how often the same questions are asked and answered.Anyway that's life. There are many knowledgable folks here that are always willing to help but to obtain help try to include as much info as possible relateing to your question. Also do your research.
