And I know, I know, Baofengs are notorious for going over the allowed noise limits… but still…

Baofengs also have terrible receive filtering. It is perfectly possible to hear no stations because you are being overloaded by something on another frequency. I tried my first SOTA activation with a Boafeng. A transmitter on another hill meant I received nothing, although stains could hear me. By a Yaesu, still cheap
Baofeng's are not shortwave radios afaik
