When you go back in time, you will see where the Radio Maker's reputation was more important than the ability to out talk other radios'. That's' where Palomar, Outcomm, Texas/Star - to name a few - took over that part of the market. You paid the price to play the game.
You wanted a good platform - good receive and Transmit that seems to get the point across along with the needed features to handle the locals as you see fit (Mic, Noise Blaker ANL, Elements, Echo - Toys - TVI Filters - ad nauseum)
The "Costs" today are too prohibitive to make a tech sit at a bench and look over every radio and "Tailor" the audio path to meet standards we ONCE had to base that radios reputation on.
Classical way to respond to the techs saying what part was this again?

That is now gone, and gone - completely - not just overseas, but non-existent. Sadly to see how Mike produced the video and he himself - has moved on.
Nice to see he gives a shout out to Ranger AR-3300/3500 Clear Channel - then we know how RCI got a hold of them and how that all turned out...
