I haven’t been active on amateur(ham) radio for several years. But when I found out I could buy this little VHF/UHF hand held transceiver for only about $40, I ordered it from Amazon. I futzed with it today and got it programmed for a few of the local repeater channels and actually got a couple of contacts on it.
The radio is smaller than a dollar bill (excluding the antenna) and seems to work very well. It fits in the cell phone pocket of my cargo shorts! Click on the image to enlarge.
