Okay....what’s your suggestion for one that’s USA made?
Yaesu FT-65r for a nice, inexpensive handheld here. 2-meter and 440mhz:

For what it’s worth, I’m an Extra Class Amateur Radio Operator.
The Japanese ham rigs are the best built. Yaesu, Kenwood, Icom. Check Gigaparts or Ham Radio Outlet. I just picked up a Yaesu FTM-7250DR from Gigaparts. You'll need a stout power supply for full power. A Powerworx SS-30DV is a great choice. A mobile mag-mount antenna for 2m/70cm will work at home or in the car. The MFJ-1734 or similar will do the job.
I did lots of ARES/RACES emergency services work in San Diego during the big fires. My rigs live in a small gym bag with the radio, antenna, cigarette lighter power cord ready to dash out the door. The new Yaesu is a refresh since my last good mobile rig was a 1976 vintage Icom 22S. It was time for an upgrade :-)
When running mobile on the cigarette lighter power cord, set the TX power to 5W so you don't blow a fuse. A more permanent installation to the battery will allow the full 50W TX power.
I just bought a BF. Unsure where manufacturing occurs, but the company is based in South Dakota. Check this out.....the “About” page is filled with scripture
