Whalewatchin VHF channel in San Juans?

FRS radios can be used legally in the US to talk ship to shore, wheel to anchor person, or boat to boat. However, they are line of sight and very low power and not a substitute for a marine VHF in an emergency. I think Cobra makes a handheld that has both marine VHF and FRS transceivers in it. I'm not sure about the quality of Cobra, though. I saw one while searching the web for what's new in marine VHF units recently. A single unit with both systems seems to me like a good option for lots of folks. Mike |
