I am avid boater (power..sorry) and ham. Raytheon is ideal choice for
price. If unit is to be topside, don't trust those claiming
waterproof/water tight. Get them wet and they'll show it later on.
Especially if hosing under normal water pressure. Now that channel 16
and channel 9 can be used for hailing and distress, best to have
scanning capabilities. I have had Apelco, Standard, etc. but found
Raytheon best for buck. Best of all, no FCC fee (once called a
license). Look for high/lo output, which equates to 20w/1w. Don't go
with unit that has hailing amplifier, and other bells and whistles.
More that can go wrong. About $250 used 375 new. Sorry, mine is not
for
sale.[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[A[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C
