Get a Baofeng UV-XR. It's handheld, has a 10-watt - 5watt - 1watt power range, a 4800 maH battery, and can be had for around $50. I've had mine ever since I got my Amateur Extra license (October 2018) and it has never given me a lick of trouble. In addition to the antenna that comes with it, I use a mobile antenna mounted on the housing of my air conditioner in the window of my 2nd floor master bedroom and a Ringo Ranger just inside the same window. I can switch between the two with a switch mounted on my drafting table where I sit when I'm on the radio.
