Are they FCC certificated ("type-accepted")? If not, (and, given that they
are user-programmable to operate on Public Service frequencies, they almost
certainly aren't) they may not be legally imported into the US, regardless
of their intended use.
There are stories in the eBay Community area of individuals who have
purchased other, similar, Chinese brand radios, only to have them seized by
Customs.
I'd steer clear of them....
