for monoband mobiles, the Kenwood TM-271A is probably 1 of the best ever in 
the modern era of radios. If you don't mind something you can't reprogram if 
you go in an area you don't know, most of what's out there will do just 
fine. I can say though, it's that 1 time you take a radio in an area you 
don't know and get lost and have to ask directions on the radio, you'll wish 
you had something you can change PL tone and stuff on the road. I know, my 
Kenwood TM-271A was a huge help on a January trip to CT. we got completely 
lost and I had to program in a repeater on the fly to get help. I was never 
so glad I could do that.
