Radio hand held or mounted.


Recommended Posts

I have both. DSC VHF fixed mount with 8' antenna, and Icom waterproof floating hand held in the ditch bag. Don't skimp out. We spend thousands on fishing equipment and lures, then cut corners on safety.

mounted with a good antenna. something like the Shakespeare 5225 xt. the quality of the antenna is more important than  the radio. just get a radio with the bells and whistles you want. but do not scrimp on the antenna. a hand held is good around the dock or in a group of boats. but a fixed with a good antenna is good for 15+ miles. 

 

I splurged and got a new radio with built in gps for my boat.
