I know 2 people that have a TYT 9800 (Yaesu clone), one radio stopped working completely after a week, and sits on a shelf a year later, the other one only works on a couple bands, and has transmit audio problems.
Only a couple 2 meter mobiles from the big 3 are made in China, and they don't hide it, it's clearly marked on the label.
My Yaesu FT-60r dual band handheld is even made in Japan, but the battery pack is made in China.
Good luck with ebay, sounds like you have it all figured out. So I'm puzzled as to why you would want someone here to validate your purchase.
