Hi, Stephanie;
 
 SA> I'm looking at buying a 2 meter handheld radio, I was

 SA> you folks would recommend... I'm shopping around right now,
 SA> probably
 SA> looking at buying at the end of the month.
 
 RBK> For a fairly solid performer, one could strongly consider the RS
 RBK> HTX-202.  Granted, it's an old model, but it's tough, and it listens
 RBK> well. It can NOT go "out-of-band", it's 144 to 148 only. But, good used
 RBK> radios can be had for as  low as $120 each as advertised on the
 RBK> Internet's newsgroup  rec.radio.swap    ...
 
You can also find some good Ham radio bargans in the FidoNet HAM_SALE
echo.  That's where I found both of my HT's (2 Meter AND 440), and my
HF tranceiver.
 
Good luck, and hope to see you on the bands.
