Don’t know how expensive/cheap they were... but was purchased from an actual store (on Route 33/34... call it Farmingdale, but either Howell or Wall; by Collingwood Flea Market), not Amazon.

$250+  Those are UHF/VHF Models.

Midland's have been getting great reviews for a few years.  These are the ones I've been looking at.  They aren't super expensive but give you everything you need in a reasonable package.  The only thing I would buy outside of the kit is stronger batteries.  They rechargeable ones they give aren't great.

Your focusing on hardware (models that might have zero bearing on what they may actually be used for....

 

Until the OP. Gives more detail how can a recommendation be made. 

 

Point of reference 5 watts....top of mt Mansfield in VT.... with an ht....  contact with an OP on top of mt Washington....albeit in portable station with gain antenna....

 

More data ray and you will get much better answers......

One of my radio clubs and I regularly operate the September VHF Ham Radio Contest from the top of a knob in NE Pennslyvania....working stations from Maine to Virginia, with occasional forays into Florida using the frequencies we're talking about.  Of course, we have height, power, and 12 foot long antennas....but even a hand-held, 5 watt transceiver can do a hundred miles from up there.

THAT is why everyone says 'it depends'....

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By raz-0 · Posted

      In 50 years of living in NJ I've never experienced any attempt to inspect the interior of the home, and only one definite inspection of the exterior for an announced reassessment of all properties and that was a drive by. About 9 years of that was living in an apartment, but still, uncommon. Every place I lived had either a finished attic, basement, or both. But they were also included in the habitable square footage on the taxes when we got there.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By Tunaman · Posted

      27.00 and change in tolls to drive down the shore from Rutherford,  47.00 in tolls to go out to Long island to visit dying relatives. Now I read they are going to raise the fees in the DMV. Murphy lied just to get elected when he said that seniors will get a significant tax break with his StayNJ" program to stop us from leaving.   Keep voting for democrats...this is what you get.  Tax and spend is all they know.  Never cut anything.  This state sucks.

      I get the added benefit that since I have a TSP rather than a true 401(k) they tax my retirement too. Yaaaay!

Between the gun, parts, and gunsmith labor I have about $1200 into it. $800 Sale is Cash Only.   I'm in Whippany near Morristown. I will travel within a reasonable distance to meet at your preferred FFL to do the transfer.
