It seems that many just pick up a handheld and try to talk. I don't think there are any full duplex handheld rigs on the market right now, but the Icom IC-W32 and Kenwood TH-D7 can be found 2nd hand quite often, sometimes with dead batteries. Most of the dual band / dual receive mobile rigs will do cross band full duplex. I use a Kenwood TM-D700 fixed & portable, and a TM-D710 mobile.
