DCMM - Recommend me a good set of GMRS/FRS radios to buy

Hello - Just wondering what brands/models of GMRS/FRS radios you all use. I'm getting ready to purchase some to bring along for whatever the first event I attend is!

Anyone have any recommendations of certain brands? Please list the model name/number if you know it as well!

I like Motorola T6500R. Good size, user freindly, reliable and reasonable prize.
B&H has in stock @ 49.95 for a pair.

Those look good.

Several features that are nice, are:

1. Rotary volume control, much better control, no annoying beep when adjusting
2. Ability to use AAA batteries if rechargeable is dead.
3. Car charger (lighter) connector (my Motorola model doesn't have this )
