    * On the disposable side, I would personally recommend a QYT KT8900.  Think of it as the mobile equivalent of a Baofeng radio.  It'll perform better than a HT because of the external antenna and the higher power output, but it's still a cheap radio.
    * That being said, it's much better than a HT, and much better than no radio at all! I personally have three of these that I use as secondary radios (one in the shop, one in the car, and one in the work truck).  My main radio is a good quality ICOM ID-5100.
+   * As for antennas, these are very good VHF/UHF antennas: [[https://www.gpscentral.ca/accessories/comet/gp-3.html |GP3]], [[https://www.gpscentral.ca/accessories/comet/gp-6.html |GP6]], [[https://www.gpscentral.ca/accessories/comet/gp-9.html |GP9]]

 **Editor's note**:
-   * I skipped a few links from US stores, but I would also add this for BC: [[http://bcswap.ca/forsale.php |BC Swap Net]]
+   * I skipped a few links of US stores, but see [[/links#amateur_radio_equipment_retailers |this list for popular sites]].
    * Also, for reviews, google the model of the radio with the term: ''eham.net''.  For example: \\ ''IC 7200 eham.net'' will lead you [[https://www.eham.net/reviews/view-product?id=6933 |here]].
