Icom makes a nice radio. also used with a digital antena you can shorten your antena height so there will be less of it to interfere with your casting and low bridges when you forget to put the big ones down. As well as you will cover way more area with the digital and get a crisp reception (NO STATIC). They also have a feature that is life saving if ever needed. The Distress button. When you register the unit with the Coast guard you can hook it to a gps unit, hit the button and you know where to be found. They run for about 200.00 and up. I can find out from a friend of mine where he gets them. gets older models new for super cheep.
