glennmreid Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I am looking to purchase a hand held VHF radio. I already have a VHF radio installed, so I will be using it as a back up, or to give to the mrs when I go off on my own so that I have radio contact with her if needed. Any recommendations on brand?

Dreamtime Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) I am looking to purchase a hand held VHF radio. I already have a VHF radio installed, so I will be using it as a back up, or to give to the mrs when I go off on my own so that I have radio contact with her if needed. Any recommendations on brand? I have 3 of the Icom IC-M32 handheld. It is also waterproof to 1 or 2 metres. I've dropped them on the cement a few times and they still work. EDIT - SORRY JUST CHECKED THE MODEL NUMBER. IT IS IC-M32 (NOT IC-38) Edited October 9, 2008 by Mariner 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netic Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Chopper, Mate they dont have the range that the boat based ones have, so you may not be able to chat with the mrs whilst offshore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
