I went through a whole series of Radio Shack weather radios (both the cheap and the expsensive). None of these radios could get a signal in the Apostle Islands or North Shore of Lake Superior which is where I do most of my paddling. This is one reason why I went with a "real" VHF radio. So, if you do go the Radio Shack route, be sure and keep the receipt. -Patrick -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Maun pmaun_at_bitstream.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Dec 14 1998 - 13:35:51 PST
