OK, Here is what I consider the best radio for field use.
The Yaesu / Vertex Standard VX177 UHF portable.
This radio is an Amateur tranceiver, however like most other ham radios it is built on the same chasis as some of Vertex's Commercial radios

This can easily be modified to cover FRS / GMRS frequencies by the removal of one surface mount resistor (420 - 470mhz coverages when done)

5 watts of power, submersible to 3 feet for 30 minutes, all ctcss and dcs tone capability, 1000 alphanumeric memories. Clone feature (program one radio clone all others instanlty. Mil Spec 810 certified for dust and vibration.
Magnesium alloy and abs body. Tons of mic options.
For about $200.00, a steal, it blows away any consumer frs radio.
