I've got an Icom IC-A6 that's pretty nice.
Same here. Don't know where you are but here in Continental Europe it's
often worth a train ticket to England to buy it there. Typically 400 €
vs. 200 GBP.
Mind you a true back-up must cover all radio-failures, meaning it should
not be powered from the aircraft power bus. But making sure the
batteries are fully charged is one more point on the already too long
pre-flight checklist.
