Marine Radios

[YakDout]

I like the west marine line of radios I have a west marine vhf160 floating 6 watt. Cost me $160. The reason I went with it:

6 watts
Floats
Not bulky
Ergonomic
One of the best waterproof-ratings
Comes with a rechargeable battery but also a seperate tray that takes AAA's
Affordable
Mic input


So far I love my radio I've taken it out 4-5 times and still has 4 bars on the battery, although that's not heavy use.

Same radio as YakDout - works great, and for its size actually fits in the pocket of my Kokatat PFD. And best yet - even sitting for months of winter non-use maintains a full charge. (though I doubt most on here actually stay off the water for more than a week)...
