OK with all this talk of being prepared I went out today and invested in a handheld radio from West Marine. It is both/all of a VHF, GPS, navigation, DSC radio... When I got to the store my intent was to purchase a ARC PLB (ResQLink) and a VHF radio, at least that is before I saw the VHF/GPS radio at the price for the ARC alone. I bought the Standard Horizon HX851, here is the review: The Standard Horizon HX851 floats, has an internal GPS, can navigate, make DSC calls, and display a strobe light. That is a bunch of functionality in a small package and probably explains why this is such a hot selling radio. Thoughts?
I'm charging it up now and hope NOT to have to use it tomorrow!
