I think you can look at a "newer" Baofeng, the UV-B5/B6. Here's a good review:

Amazon (which may or may not be the best price) has it for about $38: http://www.amazon.com/Baofeng-Newest-Walkie-Talkie-5-watt/dp/B00BLPCAZG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391904076&sr=8-1&keywords=uv-b6

Edit: Looks like the UV-B5 would be better. It has a rotary encoder to change channels/frequencies instead of a useless flashlight. It's $39ish http://www.amazon.com/Baofeng-Newest-Walkie-Talkie-5-watt/dp/B00BXVOKTW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391904135&sr=8-1&keywords=uv-b5
