Wouxun KG-UVD1P: When I got my license, I asked around for a simple entry level handheld. This $130.00 radio designed for the Chinese Military was recommended to me. This radio can operate on the 2m and 70cm bands, but comes with a software lock that can be easily removed to access the FRS*, GMRS, MURS*, Public Service, Buisness Band, and NOAA* frequencies. You just need to ensure you do not broadcast on the frequencies you are not licensed to.
