I've had awful luck with VHF radios the last 15 years. I dunno why,
either, because I keep them out of the elements and I'm not a frequent

Buying too cheap radios...? ;-)


You sure know your radios if you think Icom is a cheapie.

Try

Sailor
Shipmate/Simrad
Furuno

in that order for my top 3 choices.

Sailor has top of the line prices. I've never been much impressed by
Simrad stuff. There's nothing wrong with ICOM's stuff, nor am I
particularly worried about it in a coastal boat.

I've had problems with Standard Horizon radios for years, which is why I
went another route on this boat and the lobsta' boat.
