I chose this because it is (1) a submersible, which as been reported by list members to be reliable and (2) it can also take standard AAA batteries in the event my batteries discharge while out on the water. Negatives: (1) This radio is a bit larger than the Icom Submersible; (2) there may be some better models forthcoming; (3) the optional "rapid charger" that has a "discharger" which would help avoid "battery memory" during recharging...for the Apelco 520 does not work, if that is an issue at all Interestingly, the 520 won't even fit into the "520 rapid charger."
