Can anybody give me ideas or model #s for handhelds.

Start with a 25 to 30 amp 13.8-volt power supply, switching or
regulated, doesn't matter. MFJ and Astron are good brands.

Then you'll be able to pick out any kind of radio -- handheld, mobile
or fixed -- and you'll be able to power it independently of
batteries, which can be a limitation, a hassle and expensive.

The supply will also power any number of accessories.
