What sizes are available? If at all possible, i'd like something portable so I can take it other places.

Edit: There's a few promising looking things here (at least to me they look promising)

Red, I know absolutely nothing about hand held radios. All of mine have been fixed mount.

Okay.

I'll take my search elsewhere unless anybody else has anything to add. I thought about getting a handheld and then a cheap fixed one. You can get one for like....40-50 bucks on amazon.

When your team driving (four on four off-fuel/sandwich stops only) strawberries from Salinas CA 6PM PST on Friday to the Big Apple-Manhattan produce dock by 1pm Monday EST it's more THIS: with a little help from your vintage Whistler-the high tech of the day- covered X and K band only...practically the 'metox' of its day! Ran with light off so the flash wouldn't give it away to the radar 'bears'; With the competent co-driver 'doctoring the logs' for the port-of-entry jerks! Had to look up for the eye-in-the-sky guys once in awhile too! "Breaker 1-niner Rubberducky how's that bear lookin on yer donkey? Is the pacemaker flashin / this is ol' Snagglepuss on the inquire! Kick it on back! Over to ya'! ...Good Buddy" now a collector item! $aved me few $hekel$ back in the day!

Red, if you live on a hill, then get yourself a kick butt base station and a real good antenna. OR better still, get your Amateur Radio Operators certification and talk all over the world. (HAM License)

You boys go ahead and clog the airwaves with some ratchet jawing and call a trucker "Good Buddy"
He'll seek you out for some aggressive education because a Good Buddy is a fellow who goes and gets a blow job and brings one back for you.

How many lot lizards have you had approach you, Neal?

I once saw a fine little blonde in a T-Bird pass me out in Nevada that bore a personal license plate that read... "I STRIP"
Wish I could have caught up with her.

Keep it in your pants. Itchy rash at 75 mph with a full load on is no fun at all.

I do....but I mainly want one for road trips, coordination between my friend and me when we're driving separately. It's a lot easier than using a cell phone. Also, lot of them come with NOAA weather channels...it'd be good for emergencies and better than the emergency service scanner app i have on my phone.

HAM sounds expensive. I've got all the classroom work done to operate some VHF radios for Civil Air Patrol...just need an evaluation and signature by the Communications Officer to be certified...I'm thinking of doing the Advanced and Master ratings.

HAM is expensive.
I am certified in Canada on land and marine.
