[quote=nacra55]I started off with a West Marine radio 20 years ago. I went thru 2 of them, replaced the battery every 2 years and the batteries were as much as the radios. Kept them in dry bag.
I currently have an Icom M-32 and 2 Icom M-88 radios all are 6 or 7 years old. The 88's are small and fit in vest pockets so both the skipper and crew have one. The 32 is a bigger radio and was bought for the ground crew for a distance race along the coast.[/quote]
