Wow, so you're saying that your new radio can receive from 6 miles away when its up 140
feet? That's impressive!

I guess that wasn't the weather channel.

and the Simrad also came with a serious charger mount wired for DC or AC,
unlike my crappy Icom!
It's quite heavy for a small radio with all of it's metal. Hope I don't get hit
by lightening!
tested it on the Whitestone Bridge yesterday and got Execution Rock very
clearly. The Icom does as well, but the battery life was poor.
Also in the Simrad box, the #1200 battery, which I'm sure was a mistake. It was
loose, wrapped in plastic and not listed in the package contents. I'll use the
#700 battery 1st.
