No WX ??? That seems rather silly - half the use my handheld gets is WX.

Got one of these as a gift yesterday as my birthday is coming soon. I can
always exchange it, but a few people told me they are very rugged compared to
others. It sure seems rugged and heavy compared to the older Icom I had. It
says it can be dropped onto a hard surface without damage and complies with
GMDSS rules.
No weather band on this odd unit.

Anyone know anything about these...looks like this...
