The ICOM V8000 is a powerful 2 meter radio (output 75 watts). It has a built in fan and the chassis is a heatsink. Great for the desert. More power than a CB, but you must have an FCC license to transmit on it.

Price: $199.00
Pros: Power selection and front speaker
Cons: Not very user friendly (without the manual on your lap)
Recommended? Yes
Comments: Love this radio, hate the manual (not set up in English thinking, seems to be a "verbatim" translation from the original language)
Don't like the location of the Volume and Squelch..Both should be switched..

ICOM V8000
Price: $238.00
Recommended? Yes
Comments: A very good high-power (75 watts) 2m transceiver. It takes some reading and study of the manual to program it for repeaters but that's true for just about any radio for repeater use. Its front-firing speaker puts out plenty of volume so for a noisy Jeep, it's a better choice for that reason than some other 2m radios.

Comments: The V8000 is a great radio, with plenty of power and cooling for the west desert. With 75 watts of power hitting a repeater is a lock.
