Default VHF handheld considerations

easolutions...
I'm thinking about Christmas :-) and am contemplating a new handheld. I've
owned Standard Horizon radios, currently the HZ350S and a smaller one,
both of which have impressive range and battery life. I'm thinking about
the GPS/DSC enabled SH 850S. Someone have experience with it or can
recommend another, similarly featured VHF?

If I were you I'd get the largest, most powerful one. Preferably the one
with 10X the range. It seems like you'd like that one better.
