That's a pretty tall order. It's hard to buy a mid range price radio that will carry you all the way. Save up a little more money and get the JR 9303 radio, you will be a "loooooong" time out growing that radio (I doubt you ever will). The 9303 is a great radio and very user friendly (easy to program). When buying a radio, do it right the first time, it will save you money in the long run (you will never have to worry about buying another radio).
