I am looking for a mobile unit I could use as a base station, I already have the antenna for a base station, but really want more power than the 5W on my handi talkie. Been looking online, looks like the cheapest ones out there are still about $250. Was hoping for something a little less, say under $150 if I could do it. I only paid $110 for my handitalkie, with programming cable.

Check out the used equipment lists on Universal Radio, AES and Ham Radio Outlet. Sometimes, you can pick up a good deal, plus they usually give you a warranty/return window.
I've bought many a used or demo item from Universal. I can't recall having any issue. Safer than buying off eBay, EHAM and F'wed's site.

I'd go the extra few bucks and get the TM-281 though. Kenwood has a $25 promotional coupon on it until June, 30th.

Ya, I would like to have 440 also, but I'm guessing that will bump the cost up higher. Although, come to think of it, I only use 440 when 2M won't work..hmmm
I use the HT with the Diamond X50 antenna on the base sometimes. Doesn't have a problem hitting any of the many repeaters here in the Bay Area of CA with 5w. But for simplex, it doesn't cut it too well.
