High power or low?  I run a TinyTrak-2 with a Kenwood TM-261A which
has 50W out in my Jeep.

If you want low-power, any 2M handheld plus a TT-3 and a GPS makes a
good tracker.

You can now get a pockettracker for $89 which has the TT-3 and a 2m
transmitter together on one board, runs off 9V battery for 100
hours.  Just plug in an antenna and a GPS and you're ready to go.
My kit is at the post office right now waiting for my signature, so
I'll have it in my hands tomorrow.
