Heathkit HW-2m 2 meter VHF transceiver (actually made by Standard Radio).  I used one of these extensively in the early to mid-1990's and learned various tricks.  Breaking it out of the storage box around the time of Field Day 2014, because my own sons are getting old enough to take an interest.

Fairly sophisticated radio for its time with frequency scanning, out of band and memories capabilities.  I used to use it without having to look at the manual... Now I have to study the manual to remember how it worked... coming back pretty quickly, but it needs a replacement memory backup battery.
