I've gotten a Baofeng bf-f8 which is their second generation uv-5r.  Its
frequency ranges both tx and rx are 136-174 and 405-520 mHz.  It actually
appears to be a uv-5r (I have one of those also) except that it is about half an
inch shorter, does not have the "flashlight" on top, and does not have the band
button.  It appears that it is slightly better made but that could just be the
two samples I have to work with.  Its available on Amazon for $33.95 with free
shipping.  I think you can still get the original uv-5r for about $31.08 but, of
course, prices change from day to day on Amazon.
