Hi all,

What's the best choice currently on the market for a 2m/70cm handheld
with some additional all-mode rx on other bands?
thanks,

Track down an old Yaesu FT-51R. Compact enough to be small, yet big enough
so you don't need a toothpick to push the buttons. Keypad is intuitive and
easy to learn. Plenty of memory, tones, power levels, and the like.
Rugged -- I ran over mine twice with my truck, it was buried in mud by
Katrina, and it has been generally abused all its life, yet, it keeps on
ticking.
