Yaesu vx-6r, BaoFeng DM-5R PLUS, BaoFeng UV-5×3 (due to being Tri-Band) and the TYT UV8000E. After a 2 weeks of research I have come to these HAMS. I did research on many brands within my budget of 300 w/ accessories if needed. It has a Dual-Tone Multifrequency function (used when dialing telephone numbers) that gives way to remote operations. It only has a two-variable power setting compatible with both UHF and VHF frequencies. Repeater details available for locations in and outside the US.
