[Troop139] Radios

[chesterpsygroup at optonline.net]

Hi all 

I am writing to you today for some help. As you know I am the manager for mental health and I am in the ham radio club for the Red Cross. I do have my ham license KD2DXD.  I want to buy two very reliable portable radios and 1 home base radio. I have for the most part an unlimited budget. I am looking for something really reliable and built well. Can anyone help as to what I should get, the model numbers and where I should get it from to get the best price. I will also need to get any of the supporting stuff ie. antenna, battery backup and other stuff.  I am also going to need someone to help me set it up right once I get it. (Fun project for some of you) So if there are any volunteers please let me know. 

Thanks
