In that price range, you might be able to find a 480 with tuner, one
very good radio with lots of voice output. Next choice might be a 450,
or a 690 which is same radio including six meters assuming you can still
get the voice voard. The 440s are a good rig, again assuming you could
get the voice board, but they're 30 years old, so getting a little old
for me. I'd really look for a 480.
