<div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff;">I've got the BTECH UV-5X3. Triband, about $70.00, programmable with CHIRP. Small, light, easy to use and inexpensive. I haven't had it long, but it seems to work quite well so far. I have always preffered the UV-82 series over he UV-5 series until now, but I figured that for the price I would give this one a try. I was pleasantly surprised by this one.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr">I see all of the issues with these radio, I want to get something that will do the
<div>job, I want at least 2m and 70cm. But would be even better to have something</div>
<div>tri-band.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>So with all of what I have seen, which of these radios do you guys recommend.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Chirp does a great job with my Icom, but I would like to get something that I</div>
<div>can use and if something happens it is not my Icom handheld. Something</div>
<div>that if it falls into the water, or gets whacked I am not out a lot.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>So what do you guys recommend?</div>
