He thinks his cell phone will be enough. So for XMAS, I plan on buying him a portable VHF as a gift. But there are so many of them out there. I have a ICOM portable I use (rarely) as a backup on my boats, but it is a few years old and probably no longer in production. Any suggestions? Since it is for a small boat, ruggedized and water-resistance are important characteristics. What should I buy for a good-quality VHF portable for a gift? I have an Icom IC-M1V and love it. It sells now for about $180.00. This radio is waterproof. They recently came out with the M3A and it is also a great radio for about $140.00. I think it's the best deal around. This radio is water resistant. http://www.vitmarine.com/ico-m3a.html Thanks. I like the M-88, too, but it's a bit pricey for a gift, although there is a rebate. -- Email sent to is never read. |
