Airband Radio wanted

Hello All

I have recently got back into Mil Aviation photography. I have an old PSR 295 she works well but the led read out keeps going blank I suspect a loose connection. I would like to buy a new one but am these days clueless as to the best for your buck.

Any advice welcome
