The IC-F3101 handheld and the IC-F5121 mobile, both VHF radios and their UHF

counterparts the IC-F4101 and IC-F6121. They are commercial radios, so no 
VFO, but they'll tell you what channel they're on in voice, do IDAS, have a 
lot you can do with turning the power on while holding a button to adjust 
the squelch and other various settings, making it really one of the best 
commercial radios I've used for accessibility though I still prefer my 
kenwoods. my fiance got me the IC-F3101 for my birthday since one of the 
local clubs I belong to and am VP of has a few IDAS repeaters up so now I 
can play there. The software took a little learning but now that I did I can

do anything with it.
