In this era of technically sophisticated kids who are internet savvy I think 
a more modern radio (like the Jupiter), one which utilizes microprocessor 
control features, is a good choice.  Lets not sell Amateur Radio as an activity of 
the 1960's and 70's by using gear from that era.

The Scout, which some have suggested, might be a better choice for true 
"field operations" such as canoe camping, but I'm assuming that the radio will be 
set up in a "base camp" environment.
