the IC V8, or IC T2H are two very accessible hand helds as well.  They both
can run on double a batteries are are small and fairly inexpensive.
The ic T2H i believe sells for around $100 as does the IC V8.
half that on ebay or from a local ham.

> I have to agree, if you're looking for a basic 2 meter HT, the THK2AT, or
the one that runs on AA's would be a great choice. I got mine just before I
came on vacation, used it a bit on vacation and it's very accessible. It's a
lot like the TM-271A mobile which I now have 2, got 1 used for a great deal
Wednesday which will be my new echolink link radio when I get around to
setting that up and replacing the power cord on the radio. On ebay or used
they're both very reasonable on prices and even new they are. I think I'll
get another of those HT's for my go kit down the road, it's got a real solid
feel.
