I paid $180 from Spruce for a Vertex VXA 220. Works a treat for "emergency" purposes.
For me, handhelds that have a good speaker with loud volume rate high on my desirable list. The ultra compact ones suffer in this area. Eg; I wouldn't use a compact one as a running hangar radio, but the 720 works a treat.
What do you need to use it for, cockpit backup with a GA headset?
Generally people buy hand helds, read about the features, program in their local CTAF and area frequency and promptly forget about all of the features, including the squelch setting like yours truly.
