I would highly recommend the FT-8800. Dual bander, easy to mod for FRS/GMRS, does ARTS (I hate being 10 minute compliant Cheesy

), and is fairly rugged.

Some of the new single band ones are really beefy looking too.

Money is tight right now for a ham radio. Thinking of getting a Uniden pro520XL compact cb radio. Any feedback?

just get the little cobra. works great and is a solid radio. I have one.. and yes my signal was getting bad on the trail last weekend but it was just a loose mic connector. once I realized it on the freeway and screwed it on tight, it was flawless.
