I'm a sea kayaker and I've narrowed my search down to 2 models at this time: Uniden HH940 & Icom M3A. (If you have any recommendations for others.......). The basic difference between the 2 are power output & power source options. The HH940 is 1w output and rechagable, the M3A is 1/5w output and will take alkalines. Also, the HH940 is listed as "weatherproof". Does anyone have any opinions as to how significant these choices are? How much difference will a 5w output make, how likely is it that I will need it? I like the idea of being able to use alkalines, how long will a rechargable typically last: enough for 5-6 days use? I've seen varying claims as to "weathertight" "weatherproof" "weather resistant"; how credible are these claims? -- Rob Nevitt blumarbl_at_pacbell.net 122d42'27"W 38d26'58"N (Santa Rosa, CA) ils.bytebeam.com *************************************************************************** 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 Sun Jan 10 1999 - 09:31:07 PST
