I am looking for a used 440 MHz mobile with the necessary bells and whistles
(CTCSS, PL). Prefer 35 or more watts – 50 would be wonderful.

I have to offer in trade: Kenwood TM-241A (2 meter mobile). eHam.net reviews
for this radio can be found at: http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/654  A
partial description from Universal Radio says “There are 20 memory channels
plus 1 call channel, and all can be used to store transmit and receive
frequencies as well as repeater and signaling data. The TM-241A transmits
with three output power levels:  5/10/50 watts. Extended receive allows
reception from 118 to 174 MHz. New features include Dual Tone Squelch and
pager functions. You also get auto-power off, built-in CTCSS encode,
time-out timer, auto repeater offset and easy to read LCD."

or

Kenwood TM-631A (dual band 2m/1.25m) with all the bells and whistles
including cross band repeater function, etc. (I’d probably want a little
something “extra” if you choose the 631A). 30 memory channels, dual receive,
dual squelch, dual watch, 50 watts on 2 meters, 25 on 220 MHz. Receive:
136-174 and 215-230. Although eHam.net does not have a review for the
TM-631A, it does have reviews and ratings for the TM-731A – which is the
same radio, but 2/440. The overall rating is 4.9/5. See:
http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/4306 for complete reviews.

Both of these radios are discontinued, of course. To give you an idea of the
value of these radios, the following web site tracks selling prices on eBay:
