Kenwood's TH-D72, TH-V71A, and TM-D710G can do it.

An incomplete list of full duplex vhf/uhf cross-band FM radios can be found in this reddit comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/97jhik/gettin...

TM-V71A isn't a HT, nor is a TM-D710G. For a new ham who's scraped together some coins and gotten an HT, the only options that I'm aware that will work are the TH-D72.

AFAIK the only options are TH-D72 and Wouxun Dual.

While not an HT, the TM-V71A is very popular for LEO usage because you can easily ramp up to 25W when needed.

See this video of John Brier KG4AKV with his front-backpack TM-V71A mount. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7Ukh_nT2Tg

Sure they can, but I wondered what cheap radio the OP was talking about that runs full-duplex?
Yeah, there really aren't any. The cheapest option is two unwieldy independent Baofengs.
A second-hand Kenwood TH-D7 is an alright choice.
