I'm unboxing my new Wouxun hand-held dual channel ham radio. Best deal in the business if you want to get into ham 2 meter and 440. Got mine for right at $120 from Powerwerx
As with any HT its pretty limited. 10 miles or so, but I bought a nice Diamond SRJ77 antenna to replace the standard rubber duck and it seems to help. I've been talking INSIDE the car (no external antenna) and hitting repeaters that are about 10-15 miles away, so that gives me hope that when I get a roof mount it'll be alot better!
