Finally picked up a Motorola Visar 800 radio for my rig on eBay. Only $20, including shipping!
This is very sweet news, as I've been trying to get one for almost a year, and as yet have seen nothing for less than $100.
Happy day, happy day.
Since I mostly do Jack style uniform, I will probably wait a while to get the newer Motorola used by the teams in the last two seasons....and who knows what they use in the new movie.

Motorola Visar Radio
The standard 2-way radios carried by the SG teams in their tactical vests is the Motorola Visar Non-DTMF. It is the version without the keypad.10 years ago, when the series started, these were top of the line two-way radios, but they are increasingly difficult to find, even on eBay, and when you do they are fairly expensive. I'm still looking for a non-functioning one for my costume, but haven't been able to find anything under $80.
Even the SG-1 teams no longer use this radio, as is demonstrated in this posting thread at the Stargate6 forum: New radios on SG-1 started by Riceball. Those guys over there really know their stuff!
