Do you want a little radio to chit-chat with your friends and heckle boaters? Or do you want a high powered piece of navigational/safety equipment which will save your ass in an emergency?

I went for the latter... Standard Horizon HX-870. High transmitting power, integrated GPS, and DSC distress function. Not cheap, but how much is your life really worth to you? You don't need it until you need it, then you REALLY need it. $0.02
