Last independent test I saw was from Powerboat Reports. They reported that
the ICOM and Standard Horizon were the top two by far. The ICOM was slightly
better. I have the latter and love it... it's the only radio I've ever had
that didn't need an external speaker!

I'm looking for a VHF marine radio for a small boat. I al looking at
an Icom and a Raymarine init. Both in the $150.00 range. Which is a
better unit?? I favor the Raymarine as it has a very large display,
but if it is lousy radio, I'd prefer the Icom, or other brands.

Your suggestions please!
