VHF and UHF radios are probably out of my DIY league.
As are making nice compact HT's! No shame in buying portables (or even mobiles) off-the-shelf.
Yet another vote for the Baofeng UV-5R. I've found mine insufficient as a service radio in the field, but as your first radio for fiddling about in town, the bang for the buck is great.
