Doesn't Icom make an entry-level 2m radio anymore?
I have an Icom sitting around somewhere that I am pretty sure I got brand-new for under $100 back in 2004-2005. It's pretty primitive, sure, and I don't think it even came with a rechargeable battery at that price (but you can drop eneloops into it and it's just fine), but I suspect it doesn't produce nearly as much QRM as a Baofeng.
If Icom/Yaesu have stopped making entry level radios, shame on them.
