Radtel RT-880 comes to mind. Baofeng-level handheld capable of HF comms. I got one for ~$50.

Oh nice. I see it for ~$80 on their site, but still, that’s cool. Never heard of it. I ended up getting a Xiegu G90 for HF. I’m curious how well the RT-880 works for HF. Gonna see if there are any reviews of it. I would’ve loved to know about it last year lol.

The G90 is a much, much better radio.
