Which VHF's Easily Programmable?
 

Just joined Public Safety organization. Looking for inexpensive
($150) VHF (156.xxx). Have been watching Ebay and see some Kenwoods,
Yaesu/Vertex and Motorolas that might work, but I'm not sure which
models are easily field programmable without sending them off for
additional expense. Looks like many Motorola models require a rather
difficult interface (something other than a cable and PC software).

Can anyone suggest a FAQ or give recommendations as to which older
radios might be a good choice and relatively easily programmed?
