-All thoughts my own, except my typos and when I am wrong.I use the cheap Baufeng UV-5R radios. As good as a new $250 Motorola handheld, and for the price, I consider them disposable. You do need to program them yourself, there is a huge internet following for these little guys.
$30 for a fully programmable dual band radio that also has a flashlight, and can pick up weather broadcasts and FM radio. The standard battery lasts almost a week. Also, a huge selection of aftermarket accessories. Buy extras, they are not as tough as the pricy ones.
Thanks for all the replies! Lots of folks seem to like the Baofengs.
