Suggest anything in the under $ 500. price bracket that beginners 
could afford..!

The only thing I have found is the Yaesu FT-8900 (Which I would have 
bought IF I didn't already have other VHF & UHF equipment.).

Other than the Yaesu, there are few choices & those are mostly HF 
radios costing $ 1,000. and above, with the emphasis on ABOVE..!
