Top Radio Manufacturers

Many people ask what to get for their first handheld radio. That's not an easy question to answer, but for starting out, I recommend the Yaesu FT-70DR. This model is super easy to use and also includes a digital mode! If you want a cheaper option with not as many features, I would recommend the Yaesu FT-65R, which was my first radio.
