What about brands like Kenwood? Aren't they know for decent quality?


They are fine brands. Just as Icom and Yeasu are. I was thinking of the
price. You get about the same in any of them. I have a Wouxun HT that I
bought several years ago. Many in the ham club have them and they work
fine. That is about a $ 120 each radio.
There are many places to get the Wouxun. Here is one :
