It's a Yaesu FT-8900R quad band (70c/2m/6m/10m) FM radio. They don't make it anymore, but there is a knockoff made by TYT that looks to be identical. I program it with Chirp.

I forgot it does cross band repeat, too. It's kind of neat, but I don't have any practical use for that.

Edit, the last pass was hard to hear but I got a contact with a guy in MI. Headphones helped.

Edit 2: R&L has that 9800 even cheaper. I'm not endorsing it, it's just similar to one I have. TYT TH9800 [TH9800] - $179.95 : R&L Electronics, Amateur radio store
