The Yaesu VX-7R is really great. It is dual receive and also receives TV, AM, FM radio, NOAA weather. It is extremely rugged, and is rated to be submersible to three feet for a half hour!
I got one recently for $300 from hamcity.com after some research. It is one of the best you can get, and I love it so far.
