I'm looking at getting a handheld tranceiver for now that I've got my HAM license. Any HAMs out there have a radio model they really suggest or warn against? I'd want something rugged, with good battery life and preferably either a dual-band or tri-band. Price isn't too much of an issue, since I've kind of planned for the expense, but I'm looking at around $300.
