I'm not aware of any handheld radios ever being made in the USA. I dimly
recall TenTec making a mobile radio a while ago, but I may be imagining it.

I think most of their new offerings are tribanders though.
Hunt on eBay for some used TK and TH series you might find something cool!
Motorola makes some but they’re more targeted to first
responders/professionals. You can however program them to hit specific
repeaters.
On the HF side Elecraft is one of the best:

A new ham is looking for a radio MADE IN AMERICA.
Her has a Tech license (so far) and seems to be focusing on HTs.
Any recommendations for American made HT or mobile dual band radio??
