Which VHF/UHF transceiver do you recommend for backcountry communications?

Hi. I'd like the ability to radio park service if necessary while in the backcountry. Any recommendations on VHF/UHF transceivers?

Thanks!

It is easy to unlock Yaesu VX-7Rs. If you are going to start broadcasting on federal frequencies with a hacked radio, you'd better already be in a world of shit otherwise you will certainly end up in a world of shit.

Weird place to put this request - http://www.mparam.com/Products-VHF.cfm - I like the Yaesu Vertex VX 170
