Unfortunately, those radios are not FCC type-accepted and cannot be legally 
imported into the U.S., even for amateur radio use...

This morning I successfully QSO'd with ON4ASG in
jo10nx through AO-51 using a HT that I bought in
Jinan, China for the equivalent of £12 or 25USD. It's
called a PU GUANG PG-5118 and has 2.5 watts out from a
Li-ion battery (no CTCSS though). Similar rigs are on
ebay.
