I'm using a Yaesu FT-270r that works in VHF 2m band.
You have plenty of accessories really cheap, battery life is awesome (months if used sporadically) and its IPx7, that means you can submerge it for 30 minutes and it will still work.

Good for receiving voice but designed for morose code sending and receiving around the world. Small, light, works on minimal power.

Check it out.
