    Here is an option I may look into. I have an Yaesu 857 which gets me all HF, VHF, and UHF. I also have an Vx-170 HT waterproof 2 meter unit.

    I am looking at pick up some of these, WOUXUN KG-UVD1P Product Reviews

    They are dual band handhelds that are dirt cheap. Reviews are good. Not my first line gear, but good for handing out to the family in an emergency. They are open, so you have to be careful you do not transmit on a Freq not allowed by law.

    Its an option, when I get one I will report how it works.

    Ranger -- The Indy Hamfest (http://www.indyhamfest.com/SHOW_MAILER.pdf) is next Saturday (10th) at Camp Sertoma, at the corner of US-53 and German Church Road. This is the largest hamfest in the Indianapols area. Can normally find some good deals.

    If you can still find them, the Icom IC-V8 is about $90 (new), but 2-meters only. BUT.. a very good and tough H/T.

    Good Luck, Greg

    PS: If you decide to go to the hamfest, maybe we can meet up.
