There was an issue with the early Baofeng UV-3r where they had either a spur or harmonic (can't remember which) that wasn't attenuated as much as is should have been.  A lot of people assume that all of these radios have the same issue.  In reality, with the stock antenna on the UV-3r, the spur probably couldn't have been detected more than a few hundred feet away, so it wasn't that big of an "issue", lol.
