Check West Marine, or better yet find the cheapest price on Icom they float
I have only had to send mine back after a few years of use and they repaired both of them at no charge, anyway find the best deal and West Marine will match it plus you get a great warranty there, as with any electronics purchased there, I think is the best way to go IMHO...:D
Oh yeah, welcome to the crew...see ya out there
