Hi My son has just bought a second hand 23 ft motor cruiser which was very basic to say the least, not even one piece of safety equipment with it, however he has started to kit it out. I do not know anything about boats and their equipments but my wife and I were considering buying him a VHF radio as a Xmas present (the licence he can get himself) .I was looking at a Silva S10 DSC priced at £129.00 UKP or $221 USD or a handheld Star M-298 £57 UKP or $97 USD He will probably never be more than 3 miles offshore and the boat will be used purely for leisure and maybe a bit sea angling in the west of Scotland. The radio would be just for any unforseen emergency. I'm not sure which to go for, a fixed or handheld. Would the fixed radio set be rather extravagant for the purpose ? Any advice would be much appreciated Thanks 4 watts or 25 watts. I know which I would go for every time. |
