The limitations of VHF radio are obvious to all of us, so there's no
need to repeat them here. And I'm suggesting a move up to SSB or
satellite telephones.

Surely, there is a better way to handle boat to boat or boat to shore
communciations, with features like duplex, much greater range, less
static.

Right?

Well, I always thought these did a pretty good job.
