The URC MX-500 is a good choice. It can be had used from eBay or new as the NXG NX-RM505 for $55.35 from Amazon here:
[Link: amazon.com]It's drawbacks are that it runs on AAA batteries which have to be changed much more often than AAs. The LCD screen is not very bright. I still use one and find it quite adequate for my purposes.
Also look at the Sonys, RM VL-610, 310, and 210.
