Question Handheld airband transceiver

Hi everyone,

I've searched around the forums, and found some threads but nothing up-to-date as far as I could see.

I've just passed my PPL flight test, and I've been reccomended strongly by a number of people that I get myself an airband transceiver to carry with me in my flight bag now I'm going to be off on my own a fair bit.

Anyone have any reccomendations as to which one? Obviously I'd like to be able to plug my headset into it (I've got a DC 13.4 set), but I've heard that some Icom ones don't work too well with that.

Also, does anyone know of a good place to find some second hand ones? Decent new ones seem to be a little on the pricey side considering I'm (hopefully) never going to need to use it. I've had a quick look on eBay but there seems to be very little on there.

Thanks for any help!
